Abstract
AbstractThis opinion is an attempt to provoke a debate about exploring the responsibility narrative of international intellectual property (IP). It aims to offer a lens for interpreting IP norms within the system and outside IP when it interacts with other branches of law. After providing the context, this opinion first engages with the concept of responsibility, followed by examining responsibility in international IP. Then, it explores how access, sustainability, and empowering less developed countries are facets of responsibility that are embedded in the IP system. The opinion, therefore, is a call to develop a fair and responsible IP system.
