This important new book takes an integrated approach to the legal, business and technical aspects of the commercialisation of intellectual property in Australia. The expert commentary examines much of the law and some of the business and economics of commercialising and licensing intellectual property rights in an interdisciplinary and comparative context. Topics addressed include the international trade context of intellectual property rights and their role in driving innovation, funding and development of intellectual property in the private and university sectors, identifying appropriate legal structures for the business of commercialising intellectual property, licensing intellectual property including the special case study of multimedia, intellectual property as security, insolvency, and the taxation of the intellectual property life cycle

Compliance and enforcement are critical elements of assuring that international environmental treaties and domestic environmental laws actually produce desired environmental outcomes. This timely work provides a comprehensive worldwide perspective on how to assure compliance with and enforcement of environmental laws more effectively. Bringing together both leading academics and environmental professionals from 15 countries, the book addresses a range of key issues including the enforcement of multilateral agreements, compliance strategies and tools, the role of courts and citizens, protection of natural resources, and compliance issues related to economic instruments. This comprehensive resource will strongly appeal to environmental enforcement professionals working for governments or international organizations, who are seeking new ideas for compliance and enforcement programs. Academics researching environmental law and international affairs will also find this book valuable

This article’s main aim is to discuss research exploring how the self-governing practices found in Indigenous societies, biota and modern
organisations can be embedded into the constitutions of legal entities to protect and share the well-being of humanity, biota and the planet. It highlights the potential for organisations to become a locally controlled common pool resource (CPR) that protects local bioregions. Ultimately, it outlines how turning upside-down the top-down exploitive power structures of society can enrich democracy through stakeholder self-governance that protects and nurtures the community, biota,
and the environment.

Sustainability, as a concept, gained momentum as international non-government organizations developed the term. The United Nations' Brundtland Report is credited with first referring to sustainability as having three necessary and coexisting components being, environmental, economic and social sustainability. International accounting professional institutions also responded to this momentum, at first with an in principle adoption of the term. As sustainability reporting accompanied financial reporting, the concepts of business were also imposed on the term. The objective of global equity was surpassed by financial terminology which also prioritized concepts of risks and opportunities to explore market potentials

Together innovation and intellectual property play a significant role in industrial growth. However, in the field of information technology, much controversy surrounds the patenting of software and business methods. There are claims of stifling innovation on the one hand and equally claims of significant national economic benefit on the other. This article analyses the state of play in these related controversial fields of technology providing a background to the Australian software industry drawn from 'whole of industry' studies and the author's own empirical research into Australian patent ownership. The meaning of patentable subject matter and the ability of software based inventions and business methods to gain patent protection are considered across key jurisdictions. A critical analysis of case law across those jurisdictions will make plain the difficulties encountered by the courts in being able to identify where to draw the line between patentable and non-patentable subject matter. Arguments for and against patent-ability will be weighed in the context of the purpose of the patent system and in the light of the Raising the Bar amendments to the Australian patents regime.

Although tax concessions are considered contrary to the Polluter Pays Principle,' in Australia, the state-based command and control mechanisms requiring the rehabilitation of mining sites have been supplemented by special income tax deductions for expenditure on such rehabilitation. While this is a departure from the fundamental premise that a tax system be neutral, often such incentives are used in recognition that certain classes of taxpayers, such as the natural resources industry, have special circumstances that require accommodation. But does this achieve environmental objectives

This article examines the extent to which a recent law reform initiative in New South Wales (NSW), Australia—the draft Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Bill 2018 (NSW)—advances the general principles outlined in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). The examination reveals some improvements on the current legal framework and some concerning proposals that distance the NSW government from the UNDRIP principles. Key concerns include a proposed transfer of administrative responsibility to Aboriginal bodies with no corresponding guarantee of funding; the continued vesting of key decision-making powers in government; inept provisions for the protection of secret knowledge; and lower penalties for harming cultural heritage than for related offences in existing environmental and planning legislation. Given the bill’s weaknesses, the article explores pragmatic alternatives to better advance the UNDRIP principles.

Australia is the most megadiverse developed nation in the world supporting 10% of the world’s biodiversity.[1] While this biodiversity plays a significant role in climate change mitigation[2], there has been much pressure placed on biodiversity in Australia due to the agricultural sector’s land clearing practices[3], poor land management leading to destructive fires, and poor water management.

Local councils in New South Wales and across Australia are constrained by insufficient financial resources. This inhibits functional expansion and service improvement in non-traditional but growing areas of operation. A ready example is biodiversity conservation, where councils are under pressure to lift their game. The focus here is on local government\u27s key funding source, namely rating , and its implications for protecting the natural environment. As a traditional property tax, rating generally falls outside the biodiversity conservation toolbox. This raises the idea of utilising one specific aspect of rating - the categorisation and sub-categorisation of rated land - as a potential mechanism for conservation purposes. In order to achieve this, statutory and policy change is necessary, including review of the longstanding rating benefit given to farmlands. The crux of this article is the potential benefits of introducing a new rating category for conservation purposes
