Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law
Abstract
The article critiques the increasing reliance on international institutions for harmonizing intellectual property rights, arguing that while such institutions provide a framework for addressing the challenges of the information revolution and globalization, they may not be the optimal solution. It explores alternatives, including the development of an international common law through national courts and the potential benefits of local lawmaking and competition among jurisdictions. The author advocates for a structure that allows local autonomy in intellectual property regulation to better allocate rights in valuable information.
