This insightful Research Handbook discusses how exclusive intellectual property rights can affect inclusivity within individual, community, and business contexts. It employs urban and rural frameworks to provide a multidimensional view of contemporary inclusivity and its relationship with intellectual property.

The Research Handbook on Intellectual Property Rights and Inclusivity brings together a carefully selected array of international experts to explore the significant challenges faced when fostering equal treatment for individuals and organisations, including freedom of expression disputes and potential difficulties when providing smaller platforms with market access. Contributors offer invaluable insight on the use of contracts as potential tools for inclusivity, and how enforcement can impact the wellbeing of diverse businesses, ranging from pharmaceutical ventures to insurance. Ultimately, this timely Research Handbook expresses how intellectual property rights impede on inclusivity to a significant degree.

This Research Handbook will be imperative for academics and students focusing on commercial inclusivity, discrimination law and the legal dimensions of intellectual property. Due to its detailed analysis of methodology, it will also be a significant read for researchers in these areas.
Critical Acclaim
‘Non-discrimination is an acknowledged constitutional principle that may be implemented by various operative measures, one of which concerns “inclusivity,” i.e., the inclusion of diverse communities in all walks of life. Thus, evidence of inclusivity verifies the implementation of the broader constitutional principle. This understanding lies at the heart of this book, which offers an original and thought-provoking perspective on intellectual property rights (IPRs) through the lens of inclusivity. In an impressive line of articles that explore various aspects of the intersection of IPRs and inclusivity, it thoroughly examines this topic yet uncovered in the literature. The outstanding collection of articles touches on a wide range of themes, including theoretical and doctrinal studies from legal, social, and economic perspectives. The book makes a comprehensive and important contribution to the study of the role of IPRs in the area of human rights and of their function in promoting focused public goals. It adds a significant layer to the growing body of scholarship on IPRs and human rights.’
– Orit Fischman Afori, The Haim Striks School of Law, Israel

‘How can inclusivity, a key condition for well-being and social development, be achieved in enforcing Intellectual property, which typically creates exclusive rights? This book introduces a new and most welcome perspective, still largely unexplored, to understand the role of intellectual property in our societies.’
– Carlos Correa, The South Center, Argentina
