Interfaces of Intellectual Property Law

 ......................................................................................................................................
Description
Intellectual Property Rights have garnered greater importance in the era of globalised commercialisation. Brand value and goodwill has been influencing the consumer market in every sector. Intellectual property law is dynamic, evolving daily and expanding its horizons, creating interfaces with various other laws. The cooperation, coexistence and comprehension of several laws are very much required for the successful implementation of intellectual property laws. This book interplays with technology, public, and commercial laws. While often seen as trade and commerce-related, it also intersects with public laws like environmental, biodiversity, and human rights laws, as well as technology laws such as IT, biotechnology, semiconductor, space, and AI laws. The aim is to present these interplays in context, making it interesting for technocrats, scientists, social activists, and legal professionals.
It brings out literature on the interfaces of intellectual property with reference to human rights, technology, internet, traditional knowledge, biodiversity, neighboring and allied rights, public domain, competition law and the media. with up-to-date information, case law, and illustrations. As we are in the 30th year post TRIPS/WTO world, it is indeed a good time to realise, retrieve and review the relationship between intellectual property laws and other laws. Since the times of the Bern, Rome and Paris conventions of the 19th century until the 21st century post TRIPS scenario, we have seen not only the formulation of intellectual property laws but also their reformulation. Indeed, the reformulation and re-empowerment of intellectual property laws have given a greater push for the interplay between the different laws. The 21st century developments have made it clear that there is a need for coexistence and cooperation between public laws and commercial laws for the successful implementation of intellectual property laws.
This book is useful for students, academicians, and scholars from different disciplines including law, science, engineering, humanities, arts, literature, drama, music and many other fields. It is also useful for people working in the corporate world. Besides, the book is very informative and knowledge generator for the readers. For people working in the field of Intellectual Property Rights and fields involving or related to Intellectual Property Rights, as well as for interested readers, this could be considered a very useful literature.
