Abstract: Commissioned for an edited volume on intellectual property, innovation and global inequality, this chapter begins by discussing where developments in middle-income countries fit into the North-South debate. The chapter then moves from the frequently discussed inequality among countries to inequality within countries—a topic that has received fast-growing attention from trade and development economists but that the intellectual property literature has insufficiently studied. The chapter concludes by outlining three sets of responses policymakers could put in place to address the growing global and national inequalities in the intellectual property field: (1) international norm-setting; (2) national policymaking; and (3) academic and policy research.
