Research Handbook on Intellectual Property and Creative Industries: (Research Handbooks in Intellectual Property series)

The creative industries are becoming of increasing important from economic, cultural, and social perspectives. This Handbook explores the relationship, whether positive or negative, between creative industries and intellectual property (IP) rights. Distinguished international contributors reflect on the diverse policy approaches from across the world, taking into consideration a broad spectrum of economic and philosophical stances. In doing so, the topical chapters offer a global exploration of a wide breadth of issues, including sector-specific examples ranging from museums to traditional knowledge and artificial intelligence to enforcement and new business models. Intriguingly, this Handbook also looks forward to future challenges and developments regarding the role of IP in creative industries. Delivering fresh and challenging perspectives on the rich and important relationship between IP and the creative industries, this Handbook will be vital reading for scholars of IP. It will also be an important reference for advisors to, policymakers for, and funders of the creative industries, as well as activists challenging the power of IP. Contributors include: H.

Review :
'This volume gives incisive insight into the conflicted dynamics between IP and the creative industries. The authors cut through much rhetoric and entrenched positions to nudge the reader into entertaining the possibility of alternate perspectives and policy positions. The case studies, sectoral focus and evaluation of cross-sector issues deepens and grounds the authors' arguments in the lived reality of industry players and national or regional contexts. The discussion of enforcement and economics as well as the fore-sighting section ensures comprehensive treatment of the volume's focus. An enriching read.' --Caroline B Ncube, University of Cape Town, South Africa'The social synergy which exists between IP and the creative industries is becoming increasingly important globally. This all-embracing volume, edited by highly respected professors, provides a vital contribution to law and policy thinking. It offers a range of discourses including subaltern perspectives and oft-forgotten subjects including: museum curating, economic analyses on artists' earnings, business models coupled with corporate social responsibility, plus less visible creative sectors including ethnic fashion and dance.' --Uma Suthersanen, Queen Mary, University of London
