Funded Activity Summary

Drugs, books and seeds: The politics of access to intellectual property. The project aims to compare three transnational campaigns to increase access to drugs (patents and data protection), books (copyright) and seeds (plant variety protection and patents). It expects to generate new knowledge in intellectual property regulation and global governance through an interdisciplinary approach combining concepts from political science, law, and sociology. Expected outcomes include the identification of strategies and policies that assist with striking an equitable balance between intellectual property and rights of access, with potential benefits benefits for health, education and nutrition.
