Abstract

This chapter discusses the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 1, eliminating poverty in all its forms everywhere. It argues that intellectual property can play a meaningful role in eliminating poverty, but that this requires the international intellectual property system to shift to a greater focus on human development. The chapter offers two examples of how international intellectual property can center human development. The first suggestion is to expand the international intellectual property system to include protection for traditional and Indigenous knowledge, and the second proposal is to adopt some modest reforms to the current system to make intellectual property law more inclusive.
