This book brings together leading scholars from South Asia and beyond to examine the development of intellectual property (IP) law within the national legal systems in South Asia. It is the first comprehensive effort to consolidate the region's IP practices and narratives within a single edited volume. Highlighting diverse approaches in countries such as India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan, the book embraces local legal ethos and promotes comparative studies at regional and international levels. Structured in three parts, Part 1 addresses IP through development and social justice lenses, covering IP theory, geographical indications, technology transfer, and de-colonisation. Part 2 examines recent legislative and judicial developments across the region. Part 3 offers comparative insights with a focus on institutions, courts and practices. Each contribution addresses innovative IP practices and emerging challenges in South Asia, offering a platform for further discussion among scholars, policymakers, and stakeholders.
