Dr Johanna Gibson is Reader in Intellectual Property Law at Queen Mary, University of London, UK. Her first book, Community Resources, was published with Ashgate in 2005.
'The necessary link between intellectual property rights and the promotion of creativity and innovation has become a government and industry mantra in recent years. Dr Gibson subjects the claim to searching and thought-provoking scrutiny, drawing effectively on a wide range of inter-disciplinary sources to provide fresh perspectives with important implications for relevant policy and practice in the field.'
