This discerning book examines the interface between intellectual property and foreign direct investments. Taking a multi-disciplinary approach, the author scrutinizes the circumstances in which, and the extent to which, international investment law's traditional protective standards apply to intellectual property rights investments. After concluding that the TRIPS agreement has shortcomings in this respect, the author analyses intellectual property rights in the context of international investment law in light of traditional standards of protection including the protection against indirect expropriation, the National Treatment Principle, the Most-Favoured Nation clause, fair and equitable treatment, and the prohibition of performance requirements, while emphasizing the importance of transfers of technology within and to developing countries. These explorations contribute to the debates surrounding the fragmentation of international law arising from its expansion and diversification. Scholars, students and practitioners in the field of international investment law, as well as those interested in the protection of intellectual property rights at an international level, will find this book to be a useful and informative read. 000040947 650_0 $$aInvestments, Foreign$$xLaw and legislation. 000040947 650_0 $$aIntellectual property (International law) 000040947 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 000040947 85641 $$uhttps://www.elgaronline.com/view/9781784712501.xml$$yView eBook 000040947 903__ $$aElgar International Investment Law series 000040947 904__ $$aBook 000040947 980__ $$aOS
