Expanding the boundaries of intellectual property : innovation policy for the knowledge society

Abstract

Many countries have already agreed to accept minimum standards of intellectual property protection and enforcement. But how much control should innovators exercise over their creative works or inventions? This new collection of essays analyzes and develops this issue, which has assumed considerable importance in our new knowledge-based economy. Expanding the Boundaries of Intellectual Property has an international perspective, written by judges and leading academics from the US and Europe; it focuses on intellectual property rights as a whole, with the emphasis on the common theoretical underpinnings of copyright, patent and related rights (trade secrets, contract rights); it identifies expanding rights as a trend that has important and novel pro- and anti-competitive implications.
