The emphasis on geographical indications (GIs) in developed countries has waned, with more recent publications prioritizing discussions on GIs in developing nations and their role in economic development. - Static Patent Law Analysis:
Static analyses of patent law without consideration of innovation dynamics are becoming less prominent, as the journal increasingly emphasizes the interaction between patent law and emerging technologies. - Historical Context of IP Laws:
