The Right to Repair movement has acquired momentum globally, representing a collective push for consumers' ability to repair and modify their devices. This movement has emerged due to the increasing prevalence of products designed with built-in obsolescence and proprietary components that limit user repairs. Governments and organizations worldwide are now grappling with the implications of this movement, with some countries enacting legislation to force manufacturers to provide repair manuals, spare parts, and access to diagnostic tools. While the Right to Repair movement aims to empower consumers, it also sparks debates on the delicate balance between intellectual property rights and the broader benefits of a repairable market. However, proponents of the Right to Repair legislation emphasize the economic and environmental advantages of fostering a culture of repairability.
