This issue continues to develop what the publication series intends to provide: high-quality academic and policy-oriented papers dealing with topics that are of global importance because of their normative pre-eminence, economic relevance, and socioeconomic impact. CEIPI and ICTSD decided to launch this common project convinced by the synergies existing between both organisations. We share a common interest in intellectual property (IP) as a tool for innovation, development, and the pursuit of broader societal interests, being profoundly engaged in knowledgeable and informed reflection and international debates touching upon how intellectual property can fulfil these important goals. This series of papers aims, therefore, at provoking consideration of contemporary issues thanks to the collaboration of recognised scholars and experts, giving voice to them, enriching the academic debate, and feeding policymakers with high-quality materials. The series wishes to reach a broader audience, ranging from academics to public officials, including civil society, experts, business advisers, and the broad membership of the IP community. We also have in mind the actual implementation of IP—how IP works in practice—without losing sight of public policy objectives, including its intersection with innovation, creativity, and sustainable development goals. We sincerely hope you will find this fifth issue of the series, dealing with IP and digital trade in the age of artificial intelligence and big data, a useful contribution to a better understanding of the legal complexities and social and economic opportunities arising from technologies that lay the groundwork or foundation for a new industrial revolution.
