Intellectual Property in the Global Village
Overview In the emerging global, knowledge-based economy the issue of intellectual property rights will play a critical role in international trade, development of the information superhighway and in the relationship between various neighborhoods. To the First World, intellectual property is a commercial commodity and the creator is the individual. To the Second World, intellectual property belongs to the state. To the Third World, intellectual property is often the product of communitarian action and activity. To the Fourth World, intellectual property embodies the soul and spirit of a people. Recognition of these different perspectives is essential if cultural diversity is to be preserved, fostered and encouraged.
