Fairness, Morality and 'Ordre Public' in Intellectual Property

Edited by: Daniel J. Gervais

Published: April 2020
Publisher: Edward Elgar Publishing Limited
Country of Publication: UK
Format: Hardback
Price: £127.00



Despatched in 2 to 4 days.

This incisive book explores the ways in which the major notions of fairness, morality and ordre public can be used both to justify and to limit IP rights. Written by an international team of experts in the field, it provides varied and sometimes divergent perspectives on how these notions are applied to different rights and in different contexts.

Fairness, Morality and Ordre Public in Intellectual Property addresses questions about which outcomes of IP use can be defined as fair or moral, to whom they may be considered fair or unfair, and which criteria should be used to decide. Chapters examine these issues through topics such as fairness in copyright law, economic aspects of fairness, the intersection of human rights principles and indigenous peoples’ heritage rights with IP, and the pricing of pharmaceutical drugs.

Scholars and researchers working in IP, international trade and public international law policy will find this book to be critical reading. It will also be relevant to international IP law practitioners and policy makers.
