The Intellectual Property Debate: Perspectives from Law, Economics and Political Economy
1 August 2006
Contributions by Dr. Richard Rozek
Intellectual property (IP) has become one of the most important and controversial topics in today's knowledge-based society, affecting such key issues as international trade policy, access to breakthrough technologies, foreign direct investment, climate for innovation, public-private partnerships, competition rules, and public health. This new book from Edward Elgar Publishing sheds light on the increasing role of IP in funding, designing, executing, and disseminating basic and applied research; approaches to valuing intangible assets; strategies for protecting and managing knowledge assets; the benefits of IP for economic development; and public policy toward knowledge-based industries and companies.
The Intellectual Property Debate: Perspectives from Law, Economics and Political Economy (edited by Meir Pugatch) features contributions by NERA Special Consultant Dr. Richard Rozek, who co-authored the chapter on "Encouraging Cooperation Among the Academic, Government and Private Sectors in US Biomedical R&D." Dr. Rozek also co-authored the chapter on "What is an Idea Worth?" The two chapters appear in the section of the book addressing IPRs, Business, and Public-Private Partnerships.
