Space Activities and IPR Protection 1st Edition 2013

Space Activities and IPR Protection offers an in-depth examination of the legal challenges surrounding intellectual property rights in the rapidly evolving space sector. The book addresses how IP laws apply to innovations developed through space exploration, satellite communications, aerospace engineering, and commercial space ventures.

It analyzes key international treaties governing outer space, alongside domestic intellectual property regimes that regulate patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets in space-related technologies. Special attention is given to jurisdictional complexities, ownership of inventions created in outer space, technology transfer, and commercialization of space research.

Designed for both academic and practical use, the book bridges the gap between traditional IP law and emerging space technologies. It serves as an essential resource for understanding how innovation is protected in an increasingly privatized and globalized space industry.
