The Changing Chemistry Between Intellectual Property and Investment Law

Abstract

Written as part of the festschrift in honor of Professor Rochelle Dreyfuss, this tribute focuses on developments emerging from the use of investor-state dispute settlement in the intellectual property area. It explores the changing chemistry between intellectual property and investment law. Specifically, the chapter discusses future developments in four areas: (1) international trade and investment agreements; (2) investor-state disputes involving intellectual property claims; (3) new developments in intellectual property law; and (4) external considerations outside the intellectual property and investment domains.
