Steal This Idea: Intellectual Property Rights in the International Marketplace by Victoria Espino explores the challenges associated with respecting intellectual property rights in the global context. Espino considers the difficulties posed by international treaties, the disproportionate power of private actors, and the impact of technology advancements on how businesses operate in the twenty-first century. She argues that organizations, governments, and private citizens must develop a better understanding of how to protect intellectual property rights, particularly as international trade increasingly creates new opportunities for competition. Through her research, Espino draws upon an array of international sources and case studies to show how the production, marketing, and enforcement of intellectual property affects different countries and economic actors around the world. Ultimately, she provides a framework for organizations to ensure respect for intellectual property rights and to adapt to the changing rules of the modern global marketplace.
