1 electronic resource (pages 793-796)

The book Intellectual Property Rights in the Post Pandemic World: An Integrated Framework of Sustainability, Innovation and Global Justice, edited by Taine Pihlajarinne, Jukka Mähönen and Pratyush Nath Upreti, was published only half a year after the Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), on 5 May 2023, declared the end of COVID-19 as a global health emergency.1 The book arrived thus just in time to appraise the role played by intellectual property (IP) rights in addressing societal needs during crises and to reconsider the regulatory framework for promotion of innovation and creativity in a ‘post-pandemic legal order’.2 It does so by proposing a normative framework of sustainability, innovation and global justice that ‘[embeds] sustainability in IP law and policy itself’,3 thereby contributing to a growing literature on the social functions of IP and its role in building a better world, as recent publications by the same publisher of the book under review can attest.
