Zusatztext 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. Informationen zum Autor Dr. Nicola Searle is an economist at Goldsmiths, University of London.Martin Brassell is co-founder and Chief Executive of Inngot. Klappentext Written for a legal audience, this is a clear and practical introduction to basic economic concepts in intellectual property, revised and updated with new debates and approaches, including guidance on valuation and economics in practice. Zusammenfassung 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.
