Industry Reviews
For the newcomer to intellectual property, this book is a wonderful introduction to global innovation policy debates and the difficulties in identifying optimal patent strategies. For those in the field, the volume provides an engaging examination of the complex interactions among heterogeneous national priorities, demands for an efficient environment for global trade in knowledge-intensive assets, and the capabilities of various international institutions - particularly WIPO and the WTO - to foster the development of, and administer, sound international patent policy.' -- Rochelle Dreyfuss, New York University, School of Law
