Abstract

Focusing on issues lying at the intersection of intellectual property rights, investment promotion regimes, and the UN Sustainable Development Goals, this chapter begins by reviewing the ambiguous causal relationships between intellectual property, foreign direct investment and technology transfer. The chapter then discusses the protection of foreign intellectual property investments through international investment agreements, which are broadly defined to cover investment chapters in international trade agreements. Specifically, the discussion explores the standards of protection commonly found in international investment agreements and the investor-state dispute settlement mechanism. This chapter concludes by identifying eight strategies that host states in the Global South may deploy to ensure that their investment promotion regimes, as used in the intellectual property area, can better align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
