Economic theory & philosophy; Intellectual property law; Copyright law

Intellectual property has traditionally been a matter for the legal professions, but with the shift to evidence-based policy, the global economic upheaval, and the advent of the digital age, intellectual property is increasingly informed by economic perspectives.

This book is a comprehensive, critical analysis of economic interpretations of intellectual property, written for researchers, practitioners and policymakers.

It analyses the interface between economics, finance, accountancy and intellectual property law. Commencing with a critical analysis of the economics of innovation, law, industrial organisation and welfare, the book then critiques the economics of specific intellectual property rights, including copyright, patents, trade marks, geographical indications and design rights. It further assesses the interaction between economics, IP and competition. Finally, it examines why, when and how IP generates value, reviewing contemporary approaches to valuation and accounting, and the emerging use of IP to facilitate business finance.

This analytical text offers readers a better understanding of IP's contribution to macro- and microeconomics, as well as insights that inform the debate on evidence-based IP policy.

Reviews for Economic Approaches to Intellectual Property

Economic Approaches to Intellectual Property, a new book by Nicola Searle and Martin Brassell, deserves a spot of serious attention ... Unsurprisingly, since both its authors are skilled communicators, the book is an enjoyable read. Equal treatment for rights other than patents, short paragraphs, helpful footnotes and a refreshingly up-to-date bibliography enhance the serious reader's experience. Aistemos Unlike many texts on the economics of IP, it assumes no prior knowledge of economics and begins with an introduction to economics which explains the basic principles ... The book not only provides a good introduction to the subject, but also is impressive in the breadth of its coverage. Richard Arnold, The IPKat.
