      abstract = {Intellectual property (IP) has become one of the most  influential and controversial issues in today’s  knowledge-based society. This challenging book exposes the  reader to key issues at the heart of the public debate now  taking place in the field of IP. It considers IP at the  macro level where it affects many issues. These include:  international trade policy, ownership of breakthrough  technologies, foreign direct investment, innovation  climates, public–private partnerships, competition rules  and public health where it is strongly embedded in  contemporary business decision making.  Meir Pugatch has  assembled an international and diverse cast of contributing  authors, who offer new insights into a broad span of the  most pressing IP-related issues. They shed light on the  increasing dominance of IP in the design and execution of  basic and applied research, the evaluation of intangible  assets, and the protection and management of knowledge  assets, underscoring its importance in relation to national  economic development strategies and business strategies of  knowledge-based industries and companies.  The Intellectual  Property Debate will appeal to scholars, practitioners, and  government officials interested in the fields of  international trade and intellectual property policy,  intellectual property law, technology transfer and  valuation, and international business.},
