Complex geopolitical debate surrounds the role of intellectual
property (IP) in advancing and achieving the UN’s sustainable
development goals (SDGs). Summarising and advancing this discourse,
this prescient Companion is a thorough examination of how IP law
interacts, influences and impacts each of the seventeen SDGs. This
comprehensive Companion brings together an array of leading
international experts to assess and interrogate how IP law impacts
each specific SDG in turn. Providing in-depth analysis and
invaluable insight, chapters explore IP’s role in ending poverty
and inequality, improving food security, ensuring a sustainable
environment, better regulating gene patents, and supporting health
and well-being through access to medicines. This Companion deftly
explores a variety of models of technology transfer and diffusion.
Ultimately, the book provides a realistic overview of current
progress towards the SDGs and a blueprint to reform IP
institutions, agreements, and laws to achieve a more sustainable
future. The Elgar Companion to Intellectual Property and the
Sustainable Development Goals will be an essential resource for
academics, researchers, regulators and policymakers interested in
the unique intersection between IP law and sustainable development.
It will also prove a highly informative read for researchers
specialising in development studies, as well as legal practitioners
working in private law, technology law, comparative law and
international law.
Science, Technology & Innovation and Intellectual Property:
Leveraging Openness for Sustainable Development in Africa considers
how the openness paradigm could empower Africa to leverage science,
technology & innovation (STI) and intellectual property (IP)
legislative and policy frameworks to support sustainable
development. Specifically, it draws attention to how alignment of
national policies with continental priorities and global
aspirations will further Africa's development. The book highlights
how knowledge governance systems interface with national systems of
innovation and impact development by arguing that open science can
be used to meet new challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic and
the grand developmental challenges of food security, disease and
climate change. It emphasises the need to synchronise national
development plans, STI and IP policies with the AU's Agenda 2063
and the Sustainable Development Goals, and it makes a case for how
the African Continental Free Trade Area Agreement (AfCFTA) IP
Protocol may be used as a policy blueprint to guide AU member
states in meaningfully nuancing their IP systems to support STI. It
will be of particular interest to researchers, practitioners and
policymakers working in the areas of IP law, STI, sustainable
development, regional trade and cross-border business. Those with a
focus on current regional integration in Africa and the latest
developments regarding AfCFTA will benefit immensely from the
book's discussion of the IP Protocol and the form it ought to take.
