Summary

There is a growing literature on the relationship between gender and intellectual property (IP). This chapter contributes to the literature by exploring gender and IP in relation to human development. The existing literature mapping the relationships between IP and gender has identified some of the ways that women have been disadvantaged by the IP system and I recognize the importance of these contributions. In this chapter, however, I seek to explore how IP laws, and trademarks in particular, can be used to promote human development for women, in fulfillment of the mandates of IP social justice (IP-SJ). This chapter focuses on trademarks because they are essential to businesses, large and small, that seek to develop and maintain their brands.
