Book SynopsisThe drastic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted many of society’s systemic inequalities. This timely and prescient book explores the role that Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) played in the pandemic and argues for developing a framework of sustainability, innovation, and global justice in IPR systems, to build a more globally sustainable regime.IPRs impact products and processes which address fundamental societal needs, yet innovation is largely incentivised by the granting of exclusive rights which can limit accessibility to new products and technologies. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, Intellectual Property Rights in the Post Pandemic World adopts a cross-disciplinary approach to analyse the relationship between IPRs, sustainability, innovation and the circular economy. Chapters examine pressing issues concerning responding to crises, inventions, the circular economy, follow-on innovation and multi-stakeholder collaboration, among others, as possible ways to finance sustainability. Throughout, this book focuses on how the IP system was challenged by the events of the pandemic, with a view to understanding how IPRs can be used to promote progressive social and sustainable innovation in the future.This book will be beneficial for researchers in intellectual property law and development law along with practitioners and policy makers. It will also prove valuable for students with a particular interest in law, social sciences and public health.Trade Review‘This is a timely and much-needed book, which provides important insights into the “what’s next?” of intellectual property on a global scale: by stressing the relationship between innovation, sustainability and global justice, this book brings to the fore the multi-faceted nature of intellectual property and the need for “fairness” to be part of the relevant ecosystem of rights and interests, as well as free spaces and the public domain.’ -- Eleonora Rosati, Stockholm University, Sweden‘Intellectual Property Rights in the Post Pandemic World offers thought-provoking, reflective, and nuanced insights into the intersection of intellectual property, sustainability, and innovation in a rapidly evolving landscape following the global pandemic. This work not only illuminates the complex terrain but also presents alternative perspectives rooted in real-world challenges. It charts a path towards a more equitable and adaptive global intellectual property landscape, compelling us to rethink, reimagine, and rebalance the intellectual property system.’ -- Althaf Marsoof, Nanyang Business School, Singapore‘This book addresses fundamental questions of intellectual property rights in the aftermath of the pandemic in a variety of contributions by an international authorship. It makes an up-to-date contribution to the current discussion on the role of intellectual property rights in the international context of sustainability, innovation and global justice.’ -- Prof. Dr. Claudia Seitz, M.A. (London), Professor for Public Law, European Law, International Law and Life Sciences Law at the Faculty of Law of the Private University in the Principality of LiechtensteinTable of ContentsContents: 1 Intellectual property rights in the post pandemic world: an introduction 1 Taina Pihlajarinne, Jukka Mähönen and Pratyush Nath Upreti PART I NEW PARADIGMS OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RULES IN COVID-19 2 A critical appraisal of the COVID-19 TRIPS waiver 11 Peter K.

Book SynopsisThere is a tension in English law between the idea that the courts might provide a remedy by creating new property rights and the understanding that the judiciary's role is limited to the protection of existing proprietary interests with the power to redistribute property residing in the legislature alone. While there are numerous instances in which the courts intervene to readjust property rights,these are disguised in metaphor and fiction. However, this has meant that the law in this area has developed without open consideration of justifications for redistributing property. The result of this is that there is little coherence in the law of proprietary remedies as a whole and a good deal of it is indefensible. The book examines redistributive processes such as tracing, subrogation and proprietary estoppel and the use of the constructive trust in the context of contracts to assign property, vitiated transactions, the profits of wrongdoing and the breakdown of intimate relationships. It contrasts the English treatment of this area of law with developments in other common law jurisdictions where a more dynamic understanding of property has permitted more open acknowledgement of the judicial role in redistributing proprietary rightsTrade ReviewProprietary Remedies in Context is a rewarding book, with much to offer. It has a healthy radical edge and it argues with care, conviction and high intelligence. A great deal is packed into the book, but the virtues of clarity and economy of expression are very evident. David Carey Miller Legal Studies May 2003Table of ContentsPart 1 Property and proprietary remedies: exploring the idea of remedial trusts - from remedy to property - the development of the trust, different uses of the constructive trust, the remedial/institutional dichotomy; redistribution and property rites - two conceptions of property, property in English legal thought, the influence of these understandings on the law of proprietary remedies, orthodox and redistributive proprietary remedies, reason and ritual in the law of proprietary remedies; the legacy of legal realism - instrumentalist approaches to property - property in American legal thought, instrumentalism in proprietary remedies in US law, instrumentalism in other common law jurisdictions, formalism and instrumentalism contrasted; the normative foundations of proprietary claims and remedies - considerations of justice and efficiency for giving owners relief against third parties, rights to profit, should these remedies be specific?, should these remedies have priority in bankruptcy?. Redistributive proprietary remedies: the metaphysics of tracing - substituted title and property rhetoric - analysing tracing, the metaphysics of tracing - the denial of the remedial nature of tracing in legal discourse, an explanation of tracing rhetoric - the reconciliation of tracing with axiomatic notions of property rights, the normative basis for substituted title, the consequences of tracing discourse for the substantive, some realism about tracing, conclusion; the proprietary consequences of a vitiated intention to transfer property - "an intolerable reproach to our system of jurisprudence"? - the possible legal responses to a vitiated consent to pass title, vitiated intent and equitable title - doctrinal responses, proprietary relief for vitiated transfers - relevant policy considerations; qualified consent to transfer property - the mysterious basis of the quistclose trust - conceptualising the quistclose trust, considerations of justice and efficiency; obligation into ownership - constructive trusts and liens in arrangements to assign property - the distribution of entitlements in sale of goods transactions, the passage of title in equity - constructive trusts and liens arising in the context of contracts of sale, conclusion; proprietary relief for enrichment by wrongs - the shifting boundary between ownership and obligation - proprietary relief for enrichment by wrongs - a normative analysis, Lister v. Stubs and the ownership/obligation distinction, deducing ownership from obligation - AG for Hong Kong v. Reid, proprietary relief for enrichment by wrongs in North American legal thought, conclusion - the limits and price of formalism; the division of assets on the breakdown of intimate relationships - the limits of private ordering - introduction, from contract to status - justifications for judicial intervention, the inadequacy of justifications offered for intervention in this area, the limits of the private ordering paradigm (Part Contents).

Book SynopsisGenetically modified organisms (GMOs) are an extraordinary innovation. They raise great expectations of economic prosperity and improved capacity to address pressing problems of poverty and environmental degradation, whilst simultaneously raising great concerns about the type of social and physical world they promise. Finding space in regulation to consider the full range of issues provoked by GMOs is a huge challenge. This book explores the EU's elaborate regulatory framework for GMOs, which extends far beyond the process of their authorisation (or not) for the EU market, embracing disparate legal disciplines including intellectual property, consumer protection and civil liability. The regulation of GMOs also highlights questions of EU legitimacy in a context of multi-level governance, both internally towards national and local government, and externally in a world where technologies and their regulation have global impacts. This book will be of interest to academics and students in both law and social sciences, as well as practising lawyers and policy makers. It addresses questions that are significant for those involved in environmental or food issues, as well as specialists in GMOs.Trade Review'Lee's book is a valuable addition to the literature for those wishing to broaden their understanding of the range of legal disciplines involved in GMO regulation.' -- Tracey Epps, European Review of Agricultural Economics'Maria Lee's work is a successful attempt to illustrate the "big legal issues" behind the regulation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). This study, which is thorough and well documented, is particularly welcomed in view of the need for a dialogue between different legal specialisms for which GMOs are a relevant area of research. . . [The] book provides a very interesting and insightful examination of the legal problems raised by GMOs. I would warmly recommend its reading to academics and practitioners who are interested in European risk regulation law, environmental law, biotechnology and trade law.' -- Sara Poli, European Law ReviewTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Book SynopsisThis book provides a detailed and comparative examination of medical patent law and the issues at the heart of the medical treatment exclusion for therapeutic treatments, surgical treatments and diagnostic methods. It first considers the historical basis for exclusion and the development of law and policy in Europe, the United States and other commonwealth countries. The book goes on to provide a detailed analysis of the issues related to new medical technologies, such as gene therapy, dosage regimes, and medical diagnostics, in light of the medical treatment exclusion. Medical Patent Law will strongly appeal to patent agents and attorneys, solicitors and barristers working in patent and intellectual property law and medical law worldwide, as well as medical practitioners and healthcare professionals; scientists, researchers and managers in the chemicals, medical; pharmaceuticals and biotechnology industries. Postgraduates on LLM medical law and intellectual property courses and academics specializing in medical law or patent law, will also find much to interest them.Trade Review‘Ventose makes a fresh, lively and incredibly thorough contribution to the literature in this work. He canvasses the European, English and American authorities in a systematic, methodical and - dare I say - surgical manner. The book is a ‘must read’ for practitioners, academics and students alike interested in patentable subject matter, public policy and medico-legal ethics. It will be a welcome addition to any legal collection.’ -- Emir Aly Crowne, University of Windsor, Barrister & Solicitor, Law Society of Upper Canada and Co-Founder and Co-Chair, Harold G.

Book SynopsisThis innovative book examines the role an automobile emissions tax could play in reducing emissions in the United States. The author concludes that an emissions tax has the potential to reduce emissions from households vehicles significantly, even when travel demand is relatively price inelastic. Beginning with a theoretical discussion of a first-best tax, a second-best tax on passenger vehicles is developed. This study contains detailed analyses of: the design of the tax behavioural responses that lead to emissions reductions, including reductions in the household's vehicle miles of travel and the scrapping of low-value, high emitting vehicles the effect of the tax on the reduction of emissions the effect of the tax on households in different income quintiles the emissions reducing potential of a gasoline tax compared to an emissions tax This study uses a simulation model to analyse the sensitivity of travel demand and the resulting emissions, to different tax rates and demand elasticities. The author concludes that an emissions tax has the potential to reduce emissions from household vehicles significantly, even when travel demand is relatively price inelastic.Taxing Automobile Emissions for Pollution Control will prove invaluable to policymakers and academics in the field of environmental management and environmental economics and policy.Trade Review'This important and seminal book examines a proposed system of emissions taxes based on vehicle discharges, as an alternative to our present cumbersome, costly, and not highly successful system relying on direct controls. . . . this book is the first rigorous and thorough examination of such an emissions charge system. . . . Maureen Sevigny has professionally and carefully, as a scientifically cautious scholar, made an analysis of a specific air quality plan. Everyone concerned with bad air from motor vehicle emissions should note this study. . . . This work should not be ignored. It is a nice piece of analysis.' -- Stanley G.

Book SynopsisToday the threat of violence impacting worker safety and business operations is a major concern. It is crucial that thoughtful violence prevention policies and supporting violence response plans be developed before any incidents occur in order to properly prepare to use, respond, engage, and react appropriately. Once violence begins or ends is not good enough. The threats are real, and the risks must be managed. A violent threat from a current or former employee, domestic violence or relationship violence spillovers, and the threat posed by criminals committing crimes against people and property are concerns for which all organizations must prepare. Incident avoidance is not acceptable – indeed, most likely not possible. Our job is to make it manageable.This book, Combating Workplace Violence, provides a basic understanding of workplace violence as well as prevention policy and plan development in nontechnical terms. The key to the successful development and implementation of a w+orkplace prevention policy is the collaborative proactive leadership of company executives and management and the assistance of a qualified, reputable consultant. While the information and tools contained here are designed to serve as a baseline for any organization's solution to workplace violence, the material is useful to inform and educate any member of an organization. The unique framework (V-REEL®) for analyzing the organization's internal environment to determine what can be done to try to eradicate or reduce workplace violence is especially useful. Ancillaries following each chapter provide additional information and tools to assist your planning. We envision this book being used to inform managers, human resource professionals, workers, and academics in all types of organizations. Hopefully, using the material and framework of this book, more organizations will develop policies, procedures, and practices to prevent workplace violence.

A violent threat from a current or former employee, domestic violence or relationship violence spillovers, and the threat posed by criminals committing crimes against people and property are concerns for which all organizations must prepare. Incident avoidance is not acceptable – indeed, most likely not possible. Our job is to make it manageable.This book, Combating Workplace Violence, provides a basic understanding of workplace violence as well as prevention policy and plan development in nontechnical terms. The key to the successful development and implementation of a w+orkplace prevention policy is the collaborative proactive leadership of company executives and management and the assistance of a qualified, reputable consultant. While the information and tools contained here are designed to serve as a baseline for any organization's solution to workplace violence, the material is useful to inform and educate any member of an organization. The unique framework (V-REEL®) for analyzing the organization's internal environment to determine what can be done to try to eradicate or reduce workplace violence is especially useful. Ancillaries following each chapter provide additional information and tools to assist your planning. We envision this book being used to inform managers, human resource professionals, workers, and academics in all types of organizations. Hopefully, using the material and framework of this book, more organizations will develop policies, procedures, and practices to prevent workplace violence.
