Description
This book addresses what the Development Agenda entails by examining the latest empirical research on intellectual property and development. Neil Netanel and his contributors offer a well-thought out theory on how IP could and possibly should be tailored to account for the needs of countries in various stages of development, and whether or not there are plausible alternatives to proprietary rights. By viewing IP law from a global perspective, this volume also addresses the effect of the Development Agenda on global IP and cultural sovereignty, competition law and innovation in the global economy, and how, if it at all, the existing IP treaty regime could be modified to promote global economic development.
