Download or read book Dilemmas of Intellectual Property Discourse in Sri Lanka written by Asanka Perera and published by Springer. This book was released on 2024-10-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines global and national lawmaking in Sri Lanka through three case studies: patent examination, plant variety laws, and technology innovation. It evaluates how various lawmakers influence intellectual property law to support innovation and development in Sri Lanka. The book explores Sri Lanka’s intellectual property laws and the mismatch between its international obligations, such as Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Agreement (TRIPS), and the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), and their implementation. It examines the repercussions of this mismatch and provides insights for the future of Sri Lanka and other small developing countries. Based on socio-legal research, the book reveals the nature of local and global discourses and the lawmaking processes regarding intellectual property in Sri Lanka. While international law advocates strong standards for inventiveness in patent examination, plant breeders’ rights, and technology transfer to support high-tech development, Sri Lanka has been reluctant to implement such laws. This book is a crucial resource for researchers, policymakers, and legal professionals interested in intellectual property law, innovation ecosystems, and the socio-legal aspects of lawmaking in developing countries.
Download or read book Reframing Intellectual Property Law in Sri Lanka written by Althaf Marsoof and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-11-29 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a reflection on domestic intellectual property lawmaking from a developing country’s perspective. It focuses on Sri Lanka—a South Asian jurisdiction with a socio-economic, cultural, and political landscape similar to other developing nations in the region, but the intellectual property regime of which has been less explored. The aim of this book is to address the discrepancies, gaps, and flaws in the national intellectual property legal framework of Sri Lanka. In doing so, the book considers Sri Lanka’s obligations under TRIPS and other related intellectual property treaties to which the country is a party. The book also examines approaches adopted by developing countries in the region and beyond, as well as other more developed nations, in calibrating Sri Lanka’s domestic intellectual property regime to better address the country’s domestic needs and national interests. The approach adopted in this book is of relevance, more generally, to policymakers, legislators, legal academics, scholars, jurists, legal practitioners and judges who are keen on exploring the extent to which domestic intellectual property legislation complies with international intellectual property norms and standards and, more importantly, the extent to which domestic law makes use of the flexibilities under international law in addressing domestic needs and national interests.
Download or read book Discourse and Practice in International Commercial Arbitration written by Christopher N. Candlin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is increasingly held that international commercial arbitration is becoming colonized by litigation. This book addresses, in a range of ways and from various locations and sites, those aspects of arbitration practice that are considered crucial for its integrity as an institution and its independence as a professional practice. The chapters offer multiple perspectives on the major issues in play, highlighting challenges facing the institution of arbitration, and identifying opportunities available for its development as an institution. The evidence of arbitration practice presented is set against the background of practitioner perceptions and experience from more than 20 countries. The volume will serve as a useful resource for all scholars and practitioners interested in the institution of arbitration and its professional practices.
Download or read book Performers Rights in Sri Lanka written by Gowri Nanayakkara and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-13 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores whether global music copyright law and the performers’ rights regime (PRR) have been able to improve the economic position of artists, as they were originally intended to. The author investigates whether this regime effectively addresses contemporary issues regarding royalty payments and cover songs in Sri Lankan music, drawing on the empirical findings of a case study she conducted on the Sinhala music industry. She finds that the PRR developed internationally and implemented in Sri Lanka is predicated on a particular view of the role of performers and their relationships with other actors in the music industry; although this view can be found in the USA, UK and India, it does not seem to reflect the established practices and relationships within Sri Lanka’s contemporary music industry. While providing a socio-historical and legal analysis of these differing industrial settings and investigating the manner in which they impact the PRR’s (in)ability to deliver improved economic security for Sinhala singers, the book also offers policymakers recommendations on how to supplement current national copyright law and the PRR in order to provide a secure economic position for music artists in Sri Lanka.

Download or read book The New Communications Landscape written by Anura Goonasekera and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The innovative and rapid growth of communication satellites and computer mediated technologies in the late 1980s and early 1990s, combined with the deregulation of national broadcasting, led many media commentators to assume that the age of national media had been lost. But what has become clear is that, whilst there has been a limited growth in global media, there has been an emergence of a strong localised television and communications industry. Mapping the world media market, and using examples of programming from countries as diverse as Thailand, Hong Kong, Brazil, Taiwan, Spain and Britain, this volume explores theories of media globalization, examines the local culture of television programming and analyses the blurring of distinctions between the global and the local.
Download or read book Intellectual Property at the Edge written by Rochelle Cooper Dreyfuss and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-06-19 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intellectual Property at the Edge addresses both newly formed intellectual property rights and those which have lurked on the fringes, unadmitted to the established IP canon. It provides a basis for studying and discussing the history of these emerging rights as well as their relationship to new technological opportunities and to the changing importance of innovation and creative production in the global economy. In addition to addressing the scope of new rights, it also focuses on new limitations to patent, copyright and trademark rights that spring from similar changes. All of these developments are examined comparatively: for each new development, scholars in two jurisdictions analyse the evolving legal norm. In several instances, the first of the paired authors writes from the perspective of the legal system in which the doctrine emerged, and the second addresses its reception in her jurisdiction.

Book excerpt: Millions of people around the world do not have access to the medicines they need to treat disease or alleviate suffering. Strict patent regimes introduced following the establishment of the World Trade Organization in 1995 interfere with widespread access to medicines by creating monopolies that keep medicines prices well out of reach for many. 0The AIDS crisis in the late nineties brought access to medicines challenges to the public?s attention, when millions of people in developing countries died from an illness for which medicines existed, but were not available or affordable. Faced with an unprecedented health crisis ? 8,000 people dying daily ? the public health community launched an unprecedented global effort that eventually resulted in the large-scale availability of low-priced generic HIV medicines. 0But now, high prices of new medicines - for example, for cancer, tuberculosis and hepatitis C - are limiting access to treatment in low-, middle and high-income countries alike. Patent-based monopolies affect almost all medicines developed since 1995 in most countries, and global health policy is now at a critical juncture if the world is to avoid new access to medicines crises. 0This book discusses lessons learned from the HIV/AIDS crisis, and asks whether actions taken to extend access and save lives are exclusive to HIV or can be applied more broadly to new global access challenges.
