Beskrivning
This handbook challenges the conventional wisdom that intellectual property is the law of creativity. Traditionally, IP has been instrumental for protecting creations of the mind, with only inventors of original works enjoying exclusive rights. Related, sui generis, and quasi-IP rights, which protect monetary investments and efforts rather than originality and inventiveness, were considered exceptions to the general principles of IP. But increasingly, IP rights are being granted to safeguard corporate investments. This handbook brings together an international roster of contributors to explore this emerging trend. Why are investments the primary driver of legal protection, and often the main requirement to obtain it? Who benefits from such new forms of protection? What should the scope of these new rights be? And are they desirable in the first place? In doing so, the volume is the first to highlight and systematically critique the move from 'intellectual' to 'investment' property.

Recensioner i media

'This Handbook maps the exploding universe of intellectual property – with the expansion of the galaxies of copyright law, trade mark law, and patent law, and the creation of a constellation of new sui generis forms of intellectual property. This Handbook charts the investor-driven nature of this enlargement of intellectual property – looking at how investors have pushed back the boundaries of subject matter, with batteries of test cases and self-interested law reform. This Handbook raises doubts about the predominance of investment as a dominant philosophical underpinning of intellectual property. This Handbook questions whether this investor-led growth of case law and law reform in intellectual property is justified. This Handbook worries whether Wall Street should really dictate the future shape and boundaries of intellectual property law and policy.' Matthew Rimmer, Professor in Intellectual Property and Innovation Law at the Faculty of Business and Law, at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT)
