Who gets to control culture, knowledge, and innovation? From patents over Indigenous traditional knowledge to appropriation of LGBTQ+ symbols, and copyright over translated fan works, intellectual property law sits at the heart of struggles over power, identity, and belonging. Yet these intersections have too often remained underexplored in intellectual property scholarship.This book brings diverse voices to the centre of intellectual property discourse by re-reading copyright, trade marks and patents through the perspectives of historically marginalised communities, and applying interdisciplinary methodologies. It shows how these communities and perspectives can help in re-imaging creativity, innovation, and culture.Key features include:•Clear, accessible explanations of core IP concepts alongside critical analytical tools.•Interdisciplinary approaches that expose the power dynamics embedded in intellectual property.•Extensive engagement with scholarship and voices often overlooked in the field.Bold, accessible, and analytically rigorous, this book equips readers to understand IP law not only as a technical regime but as a terrain of cultural politics and social justice.
