Beskrivning

Small market economies provide a valuable insight into how a country might balance competing interests in global intellectual property. As developed countries that are also net-importers of intellectual property, small market economies have similar concerns to some developing countries. This duality of developed and developing country interests has resulted in some innovative ways of calibrating laws so that they both support national economic and social needs and honour international commitments. In this book, Susy Frankel uses examples from the small market economies of Singapore, New Zealand and Israel to address global intellectual property issues. Those issues include approaching treaty interpretation to both assist in implementation of obligations and utilisation of flexibilities, and effective dispute resolution; the links between trade and innovation; when and how patent and copyright law can be flexible; the importance of trade marks to small businesses; parallel importing; and the protection of traditional knowledge.

Recensioner i media

'This book provides a neatly sustained analysis of how small market economies have creatively exercised sovereign discretion to maneuver within the international intellectual property system. Professor Frankel offers a compelling analysis of what countries can and should consider doing to effectuate the public policy goals of the intellectual property system in the domestic context. Importantly, it carves out necessary intellectual space to underscore how countries may ably advance human welfare goals in the context of the IP and trade nexus. She challenges strongly held assumptions about the system's rigidity, and offers new insights about the prospects of re-framing the global debate over the role of international intellectual property in promoting cultural and economic development. Her arguments, grounded in the careful experiments of small market economies, make a solid case for normative flexibility. It is a must-read for scholars and policymakers.' Ruth Okediji, William L. Prosser Professor of Law, University of Minnesota
