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 labor 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.
