Summary
Given the important place that nature occupies in intellectual property law, it is surprising that there has not yet been a sustained attempt to trace the role that nature has played in shaping the law or the ways in which the law has been influenced by nature. This volume aims to show that the ways in which intellectual property law has engaged with and understood nature is part of a long history and that many of the problems we face today require a more profound understanding of this interaction. To this end, the volume brings together scholars from different disciplines to reflect on such historical intersections. In doing so, the contributions show how the boundaries between nature and intellectual property law are often more complex, permeable, and porous than is commonly recognized.
