Assessing the Impact of Intellectual Property on Advacing SDGs: Toward a Sustainable Future
Keywords:
Innovation, Intellectual Property, Global Inititatives, Technology TransferAbstract
The ‘United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development’ was adopted in 2015 with seventeen goals to address global issues like poverty, inequality, education, innovation, and environmental degradation has become a cardinal principle in the international agenda. It is a roadmap for social, economic, and sustainable development. To promote these goals with more significant effect, most nations have adopted modern solutions by intersecting innovation and green technologies, and this provides an opportunity for IP systems to interact with the SDGs. Intellectual Property Rights are vital in promoting these goals by encouraging innovation and creativity and disseminating technologies. However, the intersection between IP Rights and SDGs is multifaceted and may either accelerate or hinder the progress toward sustainable development. This duality makes the relationship between IP and SDGs an emerging, complex, and critical study area.
