From the publisher: "The protection of intellectual property has become an important issue both in the United States and internationally. This volume brings into focus the economic, political, * and social concerns related to intellectual property rights, analyzing and comparing policies in a number of developing and developed countries, including Brazil, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore, India, the United States, Japan and the European Community. From these comparative studies, the authors have aimed to construct a clearer picture of the status of intellectual property rights in the global community. They evaluate the impact of the presence or absence of intellectual property rights on innovations and technological change and offer recommendations for developing a workable framework for standardizing intellectual property rights worldwide.".
