Description: "This book offers diverse perspectives on the problems of commercializing innovation, as well as new insights and possible solutions to many of those problems. It begins with a collection of chapters on the theoretical underpinnings of modern intellectual property regimes. It then turns to the legal and economic realities facing attorneys, business leaders, and creative professionals alike. Taking seriously the idea that one size rarely fits all and that local knowledge is always instructive, the book embraces a dicerse set of international perspectices. This book offers a blend of thought-provoking policy analysis, empirical research, and concrete solutions to both present and future problems"--
