By using literature studies, cases, independent research observations and interviews, and participation in certain spiritual traditions, this chapter identifies and provides examples of the gap in IP protection for spirituality and sacred objects. This chapter also provides a lens for IP scholars to use when researching as well as new approaches to IP protection in religion, philosophy, and spirituality. When it comes to IP protection for spirituality, there are often occasions where decisions are influenced by current protections that are given for religiosity, which encourages the reader to note the overlap between religion, philosophy, and spirituality. This overlap provides scholars with an understanding and framework for further protections for spirituality and sacred objects. While this chapter cannot touch the entire realm of IP protection for spirituality, its purpose is to provide scholars with questions and understanding as well as provoke further investigation into the issues that the chapter identifies.","PeriodicalId":440385,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of Intellectual Property Research","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116809018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the most promising developments in IP scholarship is the recognition of the need to explore this area of law and practice from interdisciplinary perspectives, moving beyond the still-dominant doctrinal and law and economics-based approaches to the field. This chapter explores and advocates for a sociolegal—and in particular, a ‘law and society’—approach to the study of IP in social, historical, and cultural context. The chapter also argues for the need to employ a broad range of methodologies, including empirical approaches, for understanding IP in context, explaining how qualitative interviews are a promising research tool in this field. The chapter critiques a narrow notion of ‘empirical’ legal studies that often uncritically assumes that ‘empirical’ encompasses only quantitative approaches to the study of law and legal processes, actors, and institutions.","PeriodicalId":440385,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of Intellectual Property Research","volume":"111 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128765038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Stimulating innovation is always part of the political agenda, as markets rarely reach the socially optimal level of innovation due to important ‘market failures’ associated with the innovation process. Governments thus revert to innovation economics to stimulate the creation of new knowledge and its diffusion, as well as to promote those innovative and creative processes beneficial for their economies. In fact, innovation economics provides policy tools to policy-makers that aim to foster technological change and innovation. This short chapter focuses on patent policies, as they are of major interest for intellectual property (IP) scholars. I first cover patent policy effectiveness, a key concept in innovation economics. I then analyse the main areas of inquiry of patent economics and indicate for each the main investigations that have been carried out and their implications.","PeriodicalId":440385,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of Intellectual Property Research","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125263422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the present technology-driven society, magnitude of IP violations, particularly, in the form of counterfeiting, etc. affect the interests of the general public, calling for the application of criminal law to ensure stringent IP protection. The intersection of IP and criminal law remains controversial, yet significant, as it is in the interest of those in the field to examine the provisions beyond the scope of private right regime, as a public policy that can have a direct impact on public interests. This chapter analyses the intersection of criminal law and IP through a blend of exploratory and analytical methods. First, the authors situate the criminal law discussion in the domain of IP rights and examine how far the elements of crime may be identified in IP violations. Second, the concept of economic crimes as distinct from conventional crimes is discussed. In this regard, the laws of India, the United Kingdom (UK), and the United States (US) are examined, along with the most recent international developments, to show the trend towards criminal enforcement as the best possible protection for legitimate businesses and consumers. The chapter leaves much scope for future work whereby a balanced response to counter IP violations may be designed to benefit innovation and development.","PeriodicalId":440385,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of Intellectual Property Research","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124864304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This chapter explores this proposition. Whether intellectual property (IP) satisfies normative criteria requires understanding how IP affects behaviour in meeting social needs. Economic analysis provides testable models of plausible connections between legal rules and standards and individual conduct in the creation and dissemination of innovative outputs. These models provide a conceptual basis for legal arguments and policy recommendations. Whether these models are successful rests on their ability to identify and test the consequences of law. Economic methodology, understood this way, serves as a means of explanation and of prediction to guide the persuasive power of attorneys and policy-makers.
