Abstract
This introductory chapter provides an overview of the protection of intellectual property (IP) under international investment law. In today's globally connected world, international investment law and IP rights are two vitally important legal fields that touch on a vast range of policy issues and public as well as private interests well beyond their core scope of application. Since their respective inception, the two fields have both been developing rapidly and mainly without significant interplay side by side, thus far with limited ‘interdisciplinary’ study and practical experience developed between them. Despite the growing importance of both IP and international investment law, the protection of IP rights has not played a prominent role in investment disputes until the turn of the last decade (i.e. in 2010), even though IP rights have been mentioned in international investment agreements (IIAs) from the very beginning. Thus, this book aims to explain the relevance of international investment law and IIAs for the protection and enforcement of IP rights. It analyses the underlying core of the IP–investment interface, namely various ways of including IP rights as a form of protected investment in an IIA.
