crises.

Critical Acclaim
‘If the COVID pandemic had a silver lining, it’s that it led us to reconsider exclusive rights as the principal mechanism for encouraging innovation. This book is a brilliant contribution to that analysis. In its pages, scholars from around the globe discuss flexibilities in the current IP regime and offer new approaches, both inside and outside that system, to improve access.’
