Intellectual property poses a major challenge to digital libraries. This is because access to information in digital libraries is limited by laws, licenses and technology adopted by intellectual property owners. Similarly, intellectual property renders it difficult for digital libraries to make orphan works discoverable and accessible. Furthermore, intellectual property fragments copyright ownership, making it difficult for digital libraries to obtain the right clearance on content. To cope with these challenges, digital libraries have embraced the open access movement which allows reading, copying, downloading and sharing of digital content as long as the creators of the works are cited and acknowledged. Besides, digital libraries offer access to digital works produced under creative commons licenses. These licenses give the copyright owners the liberty to modify the copyright of their works to give room for sharing, use, and building upon the work.

This chapter discusses the role of the Michigan Avenue property owners (or the Prairie Avenue owners) in opposing the ambitions of the Illinois Central Railroad on the lakefront. It examines how they became instrumental in blocking plans to locate the World's Columbian Exposition in Lake Park, and helped scuttle any number of settlement possibilities that would have allowed an expansion of the railroad's harbor facilities in the lake. The chapter highlights the Michigan Avenue owners' efforts to preserve the value of their property, and introduces the antagonists they had to contend with as Lake Park began to grow through additional landfilling and proposals proliferated to fill the lakefront with exhibition halls, armories, libraries, and museums. It investigates how the Michigan Avenue owners employed a legal tool called public dedication doctrine against proposed buildings in the park. The chapter refers to the public dedication doctrine as the right of a private landowner to enforce statements on publicly recorded plats and maps that certain lands will be devoted to public uses, such as streets, public squares, or parks. Ultimately, the chapter describes a growing number of precedents endorsing the public dedication doctrine from other jurisdictions — including several prominent decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States.

Intellectual property rights are related to human creativity which is the result of the work of creativity, human sense and intention. In Intellectual Property Rights that are protected is the right of the owner of Intellectual Property Rights, not the final product produced by the owner of Intellectual Property Rights. In the global economic order, Intellectual Property Rights are seen as a trade problem that includes interactions of three main aspects, namely intellectual property, commercialization and legal protection. This means that Intellectual Property Rights become important when there are intellectual works that will be commercialized so that the owners of intellectual works need formal legal protection to protect their interests in obtaining benefits from the commercialization of their intellectual work. This study explains the role of how the decision of the Patent Appeal Commission on patent applications, especially on patent applications number W00200903691 submitted by Repros Therapeutics Inc. through Intellectual Property Consultants in Indonesia who represent it (in this case AMR Partnership) with the title of the invention "Antiprogestin Dosage Regimen" and how to analyze the decision.

This article explores how property rights have informed the peoples’ right to resources in Article 1(2) of the Human Rights Covenants. It examines practice in the interpretation of Article 1, as well as jurisprudence from the Inter-American and African human rights systems linking peoples’ rights and the right to property. It also highlights the pivotal role of protection of subsistence in making this connection. The right to resources can draw from different forms of property, including private, public, communal and traditional forms. Property rights under Article 1 have also applied to a broad range of communities, including indigenous peoples, subsistence farmers, traditional property owners, ethnic minorities, as well as the general population of a state. The common feature of these communities is their vulnerability in the protection of their means of subsistence, and this has linked property rights with Article 1.

This chapter looks at the objectives and principles of the Trade-related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) Agreement. The primary objective of the proponents of the Agreement was to secure the rights of intellectual property owners to exploit their protected assets in the jurisdiction of all parties to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). They emphasized the role of the protection of intellectual property rights (IPRs) as incentives for innovation, and were keen to leave issues relating to the exploitation of the rights to the discretion of title-holders. In contrast, developing countries feared that a strengthened IPR protection would give too much power to title-holders and limit access to, and transfer of, technology to those countries. Article 7 of the Agreement, based on a proposal submitted by developing countries, represents a compromise between these two positions. It states that IPRs should contribute to the promotion of technological innovation and to the transfer and dissemination of technology.

Rocket and space engineering is the leading branch of high-precision engineering and the economy of the country as a whole. The tendencies of its functioning, which have changed under the influence of globalization and the expanding world division of labor, are a challenge for changing investment forms of the industry development. It is necessary to improve organizational design, strengthen the role of private capital and reduce the risks of activities. Therefore, the pur-pose of this work was to study the factors of increasing the investment attractiveness of enterprises of rocket and space engineering. As a result of the work done, it was possible to identify that among the main factors that ad-versely affect the development of rocket and space machinery and impede the growth of investment is the presence of cases of discrimination by subjects of foreign and international space activities of Russian entities, resource dependence on foreign resources, including intellectual property, imper-fection of the model of domestic competition and the problems of organizational design of enter-prises of the industry. In the opinion of the authors, the output of products of rocket and space engi-neering to the international market is possible only through the consolidation of coordination efforts without "internecine" domestic competition among themselves and improving the quality of prod-ucts. On the part of public authorities, measures are required to attract private capital, improve the tools for the right protection of intellectual property, and form a new institutional environment for the development of this sector.
