‘This is a timely and much-needed book, which provides important insights into the “what’s next?” of intellectual property on a global scale: by stressing the relationship between innovation, sustainability and global justice, this book brings to the fore the multi-faceted nature of intellectual property and the need for “fairness” to be part of the relevant ecosystem of rights and interests, as well as free spaces and the public domain.’
