Details

This innovative Research Handbook explores the complex and controversial interactions between intellectual property (IP) and investment law. In light of recent developments at national and international levels, chapters critically examine the legitimacy of current practices with regard to the social function of IP rights and the regulatory autonomy of States to undertake IP enforcement measures in the public interest. Internationally renowned contributors analyse high profile cases in the framework of global legal forums and agreements, such as the Global Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and the WTO. Exploring the significance of fundamental human rights and ethical concerns, this Research Handbook will provide critical insight into property law, particularly with respect to the protection of IP as an investment.

Comprehensive and engaging, academics and higher-level students working on investment law, intellectual property and international public law, will benefit from this Research Handbook. Specialised lawyers and practitioners, as well as organizations involved in IP enforcement, will also find its insight into high profile cases indispensable.
