Product Description
As intellectual (rather than physical) assets begin to increasingly dominate the world economic scene, intellectual property rights (IPR) matters have moved to stage in the world of international economic relations. In China, however, since it began building its own IPR regime, the nation has been in constant debate on the proper role to accord IPR in the economic development. Even after the nation has put in place an IPR regime based largely on international standards as a result of the WTO accession, the debate is still on-going. As a keen observer of the transformation of the intellectual property regime in China, the author has produced a timely book that has acutely diagnosed the dynamics of the evolving regime for IPR in China, and unraveled the unique political economy of the regime's interface with the internationalized intellectual property system.
