Kirby Drake recently contributed a chapter entitled “International Patent Ethical Issues: Inventorship, AI, Ownership, and Compensation” in the American Chemical Society (ACS) Symposium Series book entitled International Ethics in Chemistry: Developing Common Values Across Cultures. This book explores ethical issues across chemistry, focusing on chemical organizations and researchers and how they establish policies and educational strategies for professional ethics. Chapters focus on intellectual property, codes of conduct, relationships with employers and government, and safety in the laboratory and workplace. By viewing both the past and future, readers will find shared ethical best practices to address international challenges with enormous effects on human and planetary health.
