Summary

Intellectual property (IP) often conjures up images of blockbuster Hollywood movies, bestselling novels, pharmaceutical drugs, or new technologies like Bluetooth or drones. When people think of intellectual property, some immediately think about the protections rather than the other half of the equation: access. Because patents and copyright are infused in so much of our daily life in today’s digital, highly technological world, ensuring equitable access has become an increasingly important part of the IP debate.
