Summary:

"Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in each area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary. In this prescient book, expert authors identify key areas of development, conflict and tension within patent law, providing crucial insights into the field to steer future research and policymaking. Encompassing traditional and cutting edge technologies, chapters examine the interactions between patent law and a wide range of pertinent sectors including the information and communications technology, pharmaceutical and biotech industries. Leading and emerging scholars examine key issues such as the patenting of core AI innovations in Europe, how best to achieve fair and equitable grants for patents on genome editing inventions, and the patenting strategies of pharmaceutical companies. Ultimately, this Research Agenda advocates for the redirection of future patent policies towards a more balanced equilibrium between protecting innovation and safeguarding overriding and often conflicting public interests. Students and scholars of intellectual property law will benefit from the novel perspectives and identification of new research pathways presented in this Research Agenda"-- Provided by publisher.
