Patenting Lives includes contributions from various interests and
perspectives, both in the context of current international
developments in life patents and the global agenda of harmonization
of international intellectual property. The book is divided into
five sections reflecting the critical issues arising from patents
and biotechnology - Context; Human Rights and Ethical Frameworks;
Medicine and Public Health; Traditional Knowledge; and Agriculture.
The international contributors from government, civil society,
academia and the private sector provide diverse perspectives on
life patents and the facilitation of social, cultural and economic
development in the context of international principles of trade.
The Logic of Innovation examines not merely the supposed problem of
the efficacy and relevance of intellectual property, and the nature
of innovation and creativity in a digital environment, but also the
very circumstances of that inquiry itself. Social life has itself
become a sphere of production, but how might that be understood
within the cultural and structural transformation of creativity,
innovation and property? Through a highly original interlocutory
and therapeutic approach to the issues in play, the author
addresses the concepts of innovation and the digital by means of an
investigation through literature and the imagination of new
scenarios for language, business and legal reform. The book
undertakes a complex inquiry into innovation and property through
the wonder of Alice's journeys in Wonderland and through the
Looking-glass. The author presents a new theory of familiar
production to account for the kinship that has emerged in both
informal and commercial modes of innovation, and foregrounds the
value of use as crucial to the articulation of intellectual
property within contemporary models of production and
commercialization in the digital.

Intellectual Property, Medicine and Health examines critical issues
and debates, including access to knowledge and medicinal products,
human rights and development, innovations in life technologies and
the possibility for ethical frameworks for intellectual property
law and its application in public health. The second edition
accounts for recent and, in some areas, extensive developments in
this dynamic and fast-moving field. This edition brings together
new and updated examples and analysis in competition and
regulation, gene-related inventions and biotechnology, as well as
significant cases, including Novartis v Union of India.

The concept of creativity, together with concerns over access to
creativity and knowledge, are currently the subject of
international debate and unprecedented public attention,
particularly in the context of international developments in
intellectual property laws. Not only are there significant
developments at the legal level, with increasing moves towards
stronger and harmonized protection for intellectual property, but
also there is intense public interest in the concepts of
creativity, authorship, personality, and knowledge. In Creating
Selves, Johanna Gibson addresses strategic responses to
intellectual property, and suggests alternative models for
encouraging, rewarding, and disseminating creative and innovative
output, which are built upon a critical analysis of and approach to
the debate and to the concept of creativity itself. Drawing upon
critical theories in authorship, literature, music, the sciences
and the arts, Gibson suggests a radical re-consideration of the
notion of creativity in the intellectual property debate and the
means by which to encourage and sustain creativity in contemporary
society.
Protection of traditional knowledge and resources is of critical
concern not only to the groups involved but also to the
international trading community for which these resources are of
increasing economic importance. This work examines the concept of
'community', intellectual property models and additional sources
for protection at international law (including environmental and
human rights frameworks). Intellectual property law is critiqued as
an inadequate framework to address the fundamental object of
protection for the communities themselves - the management of
traditional use, as well as the biological and cultural
sustainability of this use. The work sets out an international
framework based on the concept of 'community resources',
recognizing the unique claims embodied in traditional knowledge,
incorporating customary law, and facilitating community management
of resources. International in perspective and scope, the book will
be a valuable resource for academics and researchers in law,
international relations and cultural studies.
Intellectual Property, Medicine and Health examines critical issues
and debates including access to knowledge and medicinal products,
human rights and development, innovations in life technologies and
the possibility for ethical frameworks for intellectual property
law and its application in public health. The central question of
trust and the beneficial interests of society in the use of
products of intellectual property, particularly in the fulfilment
of the right to access medicinal products, emerge as key to
achieving meaningful access to knowledge in health and medicine and
the realization of relevant and equitable use of the benefits of
scientific research in all societies. This second edition ensures
that the book continues to be a rigorous academic resource in
current debates in intellectual property aspects of medicine, and
to characterise these debates through new and updated examples, as
well as to ensure the accuracy of the book with respect to
significant developments, in particular, gene-related inventions
and associated litigation, stem cell research, traditional
knowledge and access and benefit-sharing, as well as detailed
discussions of particularly significant litigation, including
Novartis v India. In this way, it continues to capture the full
breadth of issues through strategic examination of particular
cases. The updating ensures that recent and current issues are
examined and analysed and that all law remains current and
accurate, together with the revision of the resource list so that
the book can act as a current research tool in these areas and
indicate places to obtain further materials in the historical and
legal precursors to these debates.
