Introduction to Intellectual Property, currently in its third edition, elaborated as a collective effort by the experts of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO)’s and the International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV)’s International Bureaus, constitutes an indispensable guide that, in a simple, objective and yet thorough manner, will orient the reader through the maze of legal, economic and political topics that constitute today’s intellectual property (IP). The importance of IP for the global economy continues growing: from the objectives of promoting technology transfer to the concerns regarding access to vaccines and treatment in pandemic times, from the goals of integrating national industries into global chains of value to the need for the protection of entrepreneur’s differentiating intangible assets in their struggle to succeed in competitive markets, IP acquires great relevance in the design of governments’ public policies as well as in the business strategies of inventors and creators.
