      abstract = {Intellectual Property Rights are subject to a high degree  of protection, exploitation and litigation in the modern  commercial environment. But what role does morality have to  play in these exchanges? That is the question posed and  eloquently examined within the contours of this book.   Steven Ang builds his idea that the justification for IPRs  is bound up with a simultaneous duty to share part of that  intellectual resource through public rights of access and a  public domain which is facilitated by the moral elements in  the various dimensions of IPR.  In a globalized world with  globalizing IPRs where culturally assumed norms must be  re-examined, this work has an urgent and important  contribution to make. Taking the main features of  internationally mandated IPRs as a starting point it  explores the moral commitments they imply and rely on, to  identify a framework for further development and reform of  IP regimes.  The Moral Dimensions of Intellectual Property  Rights will strongly appeal to researchers and academics in  intellectual property, jurisprudence, policy makers  concerned with IP rights, as well as general readers with a  concern for the extent, growth and reform of IP rights.},
