The Centre for International Intellectual Property Studies (CEIPI) is pleased to announce the launch of a new publication series on Global Perspectives and Challenges for the Intellectual Property System,produced jointly with the International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development (ICTSD). This series intends to provide high quality academic and policy-oriented papers dealing with topics that are of global relevance because of their normative preeminence, economic relevance, and socioeconomic impact.
This inaugural issue, entitled Rethinking International Intellectual Property Law: What Institutional Environment for the Development and Enforcement of IP Law?, offers a collection of papers dealing with the institutional environment for the development and enforcement of intellectual property law.
The authors in this volume (Christophe Geiger, Professor at the University of Strasbourg; Carlos Correa, Professor at the University of Buenos Aires; Craig Nard, Professor at the Case Western Reserve University School of Law; Daniel Gervais, Professor at Vanderbilt University; Xavier Seuba, Senior Lecturer at CEIPI, University of Strasbourg; Pedro Roffe, Senior Associate at the International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development) introduce four overriding themes that characterise contemporary intellectual property law. Three of them cut across most of the contributions, namely the question of forum shifting, the evolving role of multilateral organizations such as WTO and WIPO and the continuous but evolving nature of the North-South divide. The fourth theme delves into the role of the judiciary in addressing complex and contemporary patent related questions.
