Improving Intellectual Property is a wide-ranging collection of insightful writing inspired by Rochelle’s work that vindicates the soundness of that advice. It also inspires a second piece of advice: Next, read this volume!’</i>

<i>‘There is much insight, much to provoke, some to annoy, some to disagree with, and lots to make you think in this book. But not much to bore you. It is an exceptional tribute by some heavyweight names in the IP World to the great scholar and lawyer, Rochelle Dreyfuss.’</i>
- Robin Jacob, University College London, UK,
Building upon the seminal contributions of Rochelle Dreyfuss, an international team of eminent intellectual property scholars address some of the most pressing questions surrounding the improvement of intellectual property law’s role in promoting innovation. The book explores intellectual property’s shifting boundaries and balance; its increasing relation to other global public goods such as public health; its re-configuration of traditional categories and concepts; its contradictory and incomplete implementation in international law; and its changing institutions. While diverse in subject matter, the individual contributions share the common premise that intellectual property must continually re-assess its foundational assumptions, doctrines, policies, and rationales against evolving political economies, social demands, and technologies.
Thought-provoking and accessible, Improving Intellectual Property will prove an invaluable resource for academics, researchers, and students of international intellectual property law. Its exploration of how intellectual property law might promote innovation in conjunction with national, regional, and global policy goals will also be of interest to practitioners and policymakers.
