Book Description
For most countries, economic development involves a process of 'catching up' with leading countries at the time. This is never achieved solely by physical assets and labour alone: also needed are the accumulation of technological capabilities, educational attainment, entrepreneurship, and the development of the necessary institutional infrastructure. One element of this infrastructure is the regime of intellectual property rights (IPR), particularly patents. Patents may promote innovation and catch up, and they may foster formal technology transfer. Yet they may also prove to be barriers for developing countries that intend to acquire technologies through imitation and reverse engineering. The current move to harmonize the IPR system internationally, such as the TRIPS agreement, may thus have unexpected consequences for developing countries. This book explores these issues through an in depth study of eleven countries ranging from early developers (the USA, Nordic Countries and Japan), and Post World War 2 countries (Korea, Taiwan, Israel) to more recent emerging economies (Argentina, Brazil, China, India and Thailand). With contributions from international experts on innovation systems, this book will be an invaluable resource for academics and policymakers in the fields of economic development, innovation studies and intellectual property laws.

Book Description
Protection of intellectual property rights (IPRs) serves a dual role in economic development. While it promotes innovation by providing legal protection of inventions, it may retard catch-up and learning by restricting the diffusion of innovations. Doe

Book Description
For most countries, economic development involves 'catching up' with leading countries. This needs more than physical assets and labour: it requires technological capabilities, educational attainment, entrepreneurship, and development of the necessary institutional infrastructure, including intellectual property rights, particularly patents.
Author: Robert M Sherwood Publisher: Westview Press ISBN: Category : Business & Economics Languages : en Pages : 246
Book Description
Sherwood examines the historical evolution of intellectual property as a legal and commercial institution. He introduces the five basic categories of protection--patents, copyright, trade secrets, trademarks, and mask works--and discusses how intellectual property protection works in practice. He examines the influence of economic theory on the study of intellectual property in relation to economic growth in developing countries; the impact of intellectual property protection on the economic development process in Brazil and Mexico; and the impact of weak intellectual property protection on research activity at traditional technology source points, on technology intermediation, and on efforts to provide financial support for research. He concludes with propositions to support national policies of weak protection for intellectual property rights, with examples of Japan and Korea. ISBN 0-8133-8019-7: $28.50.

Book Description
Intellectual property rights such as patents can reduce access to knowledge in genetics, health, agriculture, education and information technology, particularly for people in developing countries. Global Intellectual Property Rights shows how the new global rules of intellectual property have been the product of the strategic behaviour of multinationals, rather than democratic dialogue. The final section of the book suggests strategies aimed at developing more flexible standard for poor countries, and for keeping knowledge in the intellectual commons.
