Abstract: This book tackles the area of intellectual property and intellectual property policy as it relates to the smaller independent Pacific Island countries. It starts with a basic definition of intellectual property and intellectual property rights, and goes on to illustrate how these relate to the customs, culture, education, business and the general development of these islands. In particular, it looks at how the global intellectual property regimes that are often imposed on these countries not only effect their economic and political development framework, but also have strong implications on the norms, realities, and intrinsic knowledge and beliefs of the populations of these islands. Arguments and criticisms made in the text are supported by empirical case studies specifically relating the patent regime to issues of health and medicine, and the copyright regime to education and access to educational material.
