“…One renewable energy firm stated that in order to even consider licensing IP, they would 'need exclusive IP' to allay any fears to their VC backers. Indeed, studies have shown that VC-backing is strongly linked to IPR protection (MANN and SAGER, 2007). Even the offer from the ITI of 'exclusive' licenses was not sufficient for some early stage companies which wanted the security of outright ownership of their IP.…”

A Post-Mortem of Regional Innovation Policy Failure: Scotland's Intermediate Technology Initiative (ITI)

The Intermediate Technology Initiative (ITI) was one of the most ambitious 'systemic' regional innovation policy instruments developed in the UK in recent years. However, little of the ITI's anticipated outputs materialised and the programme was prematurely terminated. This paper examines the reasons for its failure which largely centred on the programme's inappropriate design. The findings suggest that greater recognition needs to be given to the specificities of local entrepreneurial ecosystems when designing, aligning and executing systemic innovation policy instruments. It is argued that paying greater attention to policy failures could potentially help innovation scholars better understand how innovation systems function.

Abstract-Intellectual property rights (IPR) of computer software is the right to assign the software to its creator, not limited to time and space, and non-transferable. Proving IPR of the creators of computer software requires a rigorous review of the ways in which these rights may be violated. The present study was conducted by comparing two populations in Iran with the aim of identifying the level of familiarity and observance of software IPR: 1) 96 software engineers member of IEEE Association and 2) 386 students randomly. Results are analyzed by SPSS software and the validity of the results is verified using T-test. By comparing the results, it was concluded that the first population significantly observed these cases more. Then a model was presented for protecting software IPR so that the challenges are reduced. This research is the completion of our previous work that was discussed as a future work.
