About this Item

Edited by Abbe E.L. Brown and Charlotte Waelde, this volume examines the complex interplay between intellectual property law and the creative industries from economic, cultural, and social viewpoints. Contributors from various jurisdictions analyze how IP frameworks affect sectors ranging from publishing and music to design and the broader cultural economy, addressing themes such as diversity, collaborative authorship, and the policy tensions surrounding creative work. The collection draws together perspectives from law, economics, and cultural studies to consider whether existing IP regimes adequately serve creators, industries, and the public.

About this title

Synopsis

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.
