Summary:
"The book explores the interface between IPR and HR, especially in the Indian context. On one hand, it is argued that IPR is important as it encourages and incentivises creativity and innovativeness. On the other hand, public interest or human rights to accessibility of such product of intellect is also important. Hence what becomes crucial is the act of counterbalancing both these points of interest. The book contains essays on important aspects of IPR and HR and examines whether IPR promotes human rights and how can rights of creators be placed alongside wider public interest of accessibility in each field of IPR? Importantly, what are the steps/approaches in India in striking a balance between both these interests?"--Back cover.
