This insightful Research Handbook discusses how exclusive intellectual property rights can affect inclusivity within individual, community and business contexts. It employs urban and rural frameworks to provide a multidimensional view of contemporary inclusivity and its relationship with intellectual property.

The Research Handbook on Intellectual Property Rights and Inclusivity brings together a carefully selected array of international experts to explore the significant challenges faced when fostering equal treatment for individuals and organisations, including freedom of expression disputes and potential difficulties when providing smaller platforms with market access. Contributors offer invaluable insight on the use of contracts as potential tools for inclusivity, and how enforcement can impact the well-being of diverse businesses, ranging from pharmaceutical ventures to insurance. Ultimately, this timely Research Handbook expresses how intellectual property rights impede on inclusivity to a significant degree.

This Research Handbook will be imperative for academics and students focusing on commercial inclusivity, discrimination law and the legal dimensions of intellectual property. Due to its detailed analysis of methodology, it will also be a significant resource for researchers in these areas.

Edited by Cristiana Sappa, Professor of Business Law, INENTIS Department, IESEG School of Management, Lille, France
