    Intellectual Property and Food

    The book  ‘Food, Philosophy and Intellectual Property’ highlights the ethical, political and aesthetic value of culinary arts and gastronomy. Authors Enrico Bonadio and Andrea Borghini discuss their roadmap to the 50 case studies which demonstrate the link between IP-related issues, food and cultural identity which will be relevant to scholars, practitioners and those who are interested in intellectual property, food law and food studies. About the authors: Enrico Bonadio is Reader in Law at City, University of London. He teaches, researches, and advises in the field of intellectual property law. His research agenda is wide-ranging, having recently focused on international trade aspects of IP, the intersection between IP and new technologies such as artificial intelligence and IP protection of non-conventional forms of creativity, including in the food arena. He is Deputy Editor in Chief of the European Journal of Risk Regulation and member of the Editorial Boards of the European Intellectual Property Review and the NUART Journal.   Andrea Borghini is Associate Professor in the Philosophy Department at the University of Milan, Italy. For the Fall 2024, he is a visiting faculty at the Center for Human Values, Princeton University. His research develops theoretical tools to rethink how we represent, sense, and feel about food, eating, and culinary cultures. He is a co-founder and director of Culinary Mind, the main international network promoting philosophical thinking on food. Andrea studied logic and philosophy in Florence, and did his graduate work in logic, metaphysics, and philosophy of science at Columbia University under the supervision of Achille Varzi. For ten years he was on the faculty at the College of the Holy Cross in Massachusetts. The authors are deeply thankful to Michael T.

    Intellectual Property and Trade

    In this episode Antony Taubman, co-editor of the book entitled ‘Trade in Knowledge: Intellectual Property, Trade and Development in a Transformed Global Economy’, outlines how much during the past quarter-century since the WTO was established, and since its Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS Agreement) came into force, both the knowledge dimension of trade and the functioning of the IP system have been radically transformed.  He provides an explanation of what it means to trade in knowledge in today's technological and commercial environment, and how this book is a critical information source for policy discussions about economic and social development. About the author: Antony Taubman is Director of the WTO’s Intellectual Property, Government Procurement and Competition Division. He formerly directed the Global Intellectual Property Issues Division of WIPO (including the Traditional Knowledge Division and Life Sciences Program), covering IP and genetic resources, traditional knowledge and folklore, the life sciences, and related global issues including public health and climate, the environment, climate change, human rights, food security, bioethics and indigenous issues. He earlier held appointments in the Australian diplomatic service and worked in private practice as a patent attorney, and he has held a number of academic and teaching positions.
