This open access book presents global perspectives and developments
within the information and communication technology (ICT) sector, and
discusses the bearing they have on policy initiatives that are relevant
to the larger digital technology and communications industry. Drawing on
key developments in India, the USA, UK, EU, and China, it explores
whether key jurisdictions need to adopt a different legal and policy
approach to address the unique concerns that have emerged within the
technology-intensive industries. The book also examines the latest law
and policy debates surrounding patents and competition in these regions.
Initiating a multi-faceted discussion, the book enables readers to gain
a comprehensive understanding of complex legal and policy issues that
are beginning to emerge around the globe.
