The role of intellectual property rights in technology transfer to developing countries and least developed countries to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is a major theme of a new international collection of writing on intellectual property rights and the SDGs.
Professor Matthew Rimmer is one of three editors of The Elgar companion to Intellectual Property and the Sustainable Development Goals. The book is written by 33 authors from around the world (including QUT researchers Muhammad Zaheer Abbas, Felicity Deane and Saiful Karim), and comprehensively covers the complexities of every aspect of intellectual property (IP) in achieving the SDGs.
“The book contains a variety of proposals to re-align and reform intellectual property law, policy, and practices to better promote the SDGs,” Professor Rimmer said.
The Elgar companion to Intellectual Property and the Sustainable Development Goals is available now in Hardback and eBook formats from Edward Elgar Publishing.
