The only comprehensive analysis of contemporary intellectual property, trade and development research
Meets a growing need to understand the connections between intellectual property and trade rules, in the context of economic and social development
Sets out implementation strategies for TRIPS, TRIPS Plus norms and intellectual property rules
Written by a team of recognized experts in the various subjects covered

This work responds to the increasing need in many countries to better understand linkages between intellectual property, trade rules, and economic and social development, and to find new ways of implementing intellectual property rules and optimizing their effects. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the latest legal, economic, political and social research and advanced current thinking on the relationship between intellectual property and trade and development.

With new chapters addressing access to educational resources and innovation in the developing world, the use of traditional knowledge as a source of innovation, and TRIPS, TRIPS Pus and Developments across the whole of South Asia, this fully updated second edition presents new insights and discussions from economists and social scientists and benefits from access to the latest metrics and analytical tools available.

Readership: This book will be of particular interest to intellectual property academics, students of advanced and/or international intellectual property, and intellectual property makers (and consultants) in government as well as non-governmental organisations around the world. It will also be of interest to intellectual property practitioners, as well as economists and political and social scientists, particularly those involved in trade and development issues.
