New Book:
Intellectual Property, Climate Change and Technology: Managing National Legal Intersections, Relationships and Conflicts, by Professor Abbe E.L. Brown.
Book Description:
Exploring the potential for alignment as well as conflicts between IP and climate change ‘Intellectual Property, Climate Change and Technology’ encourages a coherent and integrated approach to decision making across the IP, climate change and technology landscape. This groundbreaking book identifies and challenges the lack of intersection between intellectual property law and climate change law at national level. It argues that intellectual property confers private rights on the results of innovation and creativity, while climate change law and policy exists more in the public sphere without engagement with intellectual property, with no space for the conflict between this private power and public goal to be investigated in litigation.
