Book excerpt: 'Professor Ang's thoughtful book is the first comprehensive analysis of the philosophic underpinnings of the morality clauses contained in the principal IPR statutes. Morality issues in intellectual property are becoming increasingly important as a consequence of the recent debates over access to proprietary medicines, the implications of DNA patenting for medical treatment and the impact of IPRs on food security. Professor Ang's book provides an important touchstone for consideration of these issues.' - Michael Blakeney, University of Western Australia
