"This volume features chapters on current issues facing intellectual property, innovation and development policy, from the Egyptian perspective. These include copyright and comparative business models in music, open source software, patent reform and access to medicines, information and communications technology for development and the role of the Egyptian government in promoting access to knowledge internationally and domestically."
