Testo aggiuntivo

'The necessary link between intellectual property rights and the promotion of creativity and innovation has become a government and industry mantra in recent years. Dr Gibson subjects the claim to searching and thought-provoking scrutiny, drawing effectively on a wide range of inter-disciplinary sources to provide fresh perspectives with important implications for relevant policy and practice in the field.' Hector L. MacQueen, University of Edinburgh, UK
