Intellectual Property Rights No 4 - "Textbook" for Inventors etc....?

This morning I found the third edition of the report by the Commission on Intellectual Property Rights. It is entitled "Integrating Intellectual Property Rights and Development Policy" (see link below).
Although rather dated (2003) it gives an overview of IPR in the context of the development of poorer nations within the world economy. I have not attempted to read it but a few glances at the Contents (for about 191 pages of content) suggest that any jobseeker who desires to know the field will find the an interesting starting point.

I am curious of the content which delves into:
Health, including medicine;

Agriculture;

Traditional knowledge;

Internet;

Patent reform;

International aspects; etc.

Reminding myself of the problems that Alfred must have had 1200 years or so ago in developing steps towards nationhood - education, defence, "town", planning, "civil service"..., I must now scan the last eight years to learn of the impact (or not) of the Report and of any progress!
