Introduction

Intellectual Property Rights Issues in Vaccine Development offers a timely exploration of the evolving role of intellectual property (IP) in shaping global vaccine research, innovation, and accessibility. As the world continues to grapple with public health challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic— this book provides a critical lens on how patents, trade secrets, and international agreements influence vaccine development and distribution.

The contents of the book explore the historical evolution of IP in vaccinology, the debate over patent protection, the intersection of legal frameworks and ethical concerns, and the tension between innovation and equitable access. Special attention is given to global case studies, the impact of international agreements, and recommendations for stakeholders across policy, industry, and healthcare sectors.
