This peer-reviewed journal aims to create a forum in which experts can debate topical international intellectual property issues from different perspectives, recognising the multidisciplinary and multifaceted nature of global developments in intellectual property. The perception of intellectual property has changed dramatically in the last two decades. Rapid evolution in technology regularly brings new intellectual property issues to the fore. Intellectual property has been acknowledged as integral to the multilateral trading system in the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (the TRIPS Agreement) of the World Trade Organization, and global challenges raise intellectual property concerns of a fundamental nature. These include questions relating to the use of genetic resources and biotechnology, as well as how the intellectual property system can help find solutions to problems associated with cli- mate change, access to health care, and food security. The WIPO Journal seeks to take the lead in exploring these issues, and in providing insights into other developing areas, through scholarly articles by experts in the field. It examines new and innovative perspectives while providing both in-depth analysis of the subjects and a foundation for further research. The eminent members of The WIPO Journal’s Editorial Board bring their expertise to enrich the debate on these global issues. It is hoped that this new publication will prove an invaluable resource for professionals, scholars, policymakers, economists and scientists, as well as the many others interested in the balanced evolution of the intellectual property system.
