Intellectual Property Rights & Human Rights: A Malaysian Perspective

By R.Nizamuddin

Intellectual Property Rights &amp; Human Rights: A Malaysian Perspective is a valuable
resource on intellectual property rights as a human rights issue because it discusses
intellectual property rights and how they fit into the human rights framework. It
introduces the concept of intellectual property, and it uses the example of tobacco
product plain packaging to demonstrate how intellectual property rights are a type of
human rights. This particular example is important because, if this policy is discussed
for other products in the future, it could be expanded to include alcohol, sugary drinks,
children’s food, and other items.
Key features

property” in the title, will pique readers’ interest in learning more about how
intellectual property and human rights are related, particularly for those studying
Human Rights Laws.
• The Syariah perspective on plain packaging addresses intellectual property as a type
of property that can be calculated as an asset for faraid (Islamic law on inheritance)
distribution purposes, which is useful for Syariah Law students.
• The Ministry of Health, smokers, non-smokers, consumer associations, and Malaysia’s
Human Rights Council are just a few of the authorities that were the subjects of
surveys and interviews for this book. To date, no other intellectual property book has
published these findings.
• As of now, no other law books in Malaysia discuss this plain packaging policy.
