She critically examines the impact of IP regimes on access to medicines, public health, and agricultural trade.
Her work spans empirical analysis of GI policies, TRIPS-plus agreements, and the effects of patent evergreening on drug monopolies. Key projects include studies on EU-Australia trade relations and the implications of trade treaties on IP standards. Moir has published extensively on topics such as the economic impact of GIs, the role of IP in corporate taxation, and copyright policy reforms.
