In 2011, global sales for luxury goods reached about $250 billion, and consumers in East and Southeast Asia account for more than 50 percent of that figure. The rapid expansion of the market has prompted some retailers to wield intellectual property against the influx of imitators and counterfeiters. This book explores the rise of the luxury goods economy and the growing role of intellectual property in creating, sustaining, and regulating this economy. Chapters critically consider the industry, its foundational intellectual property laws, and the public interest and social concerns arising from the intersection of economics and law. Topics covered include defining the concept of luxury, the social life of luxury goods, concerns about distributive justice in a world flooded by luxury goods and knockoffs, the globalization of luxury goods, and the economic, social, and political ramifications of the meteoric rise of the Asian luxury market. 000047975 588__ $$aOnline resource 000047975 650_0 $$aLuxury goods industry$$xLaw and legislation 000047975 650_0 $$aIntellectual property 000047975 85641 $$uhttps://doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199335701.001.0001$$yView eBook 000047975 903__ $$aOxford Academic 000047975 904__ $$aJournal article 000047975 980__ $$aOS
