“…Patent statistics however can be difficult to interpret and use (Griliches, 1998). The analysis of the innovation process requires a good understanding of R&D, patents and productivity (Nyman-Metcalf et al, 2014). Patents can be partial indicators but are still appropriate enough to highlight useful research undertaken by universities (Meyer, 2003, p. 19).…”

This article is an econometric study of patent development, education policy and research and development (R&D) expenditure policy, the aim of which is to investigate the key similarities and differences when it comes to the issue of competitiveness between Estonia and Finland, particularly in the utilisation of foreign patents, as well as ranking them on the international arena. The authors of the article intend to study how it is possible to increase the technological competitiveness of small European Union Member States and the special effect of investments in research and development (R&D) and education on the competitiveness ranking of Estonia and Finland. The authors attempt to explore how Estonia can advance by learning from the model of innovative growth adopted by Finland.

“…The correct management of RDI poses a vital challenge for developed economies and competition in RDI is seen as the key. The factors that affect successful RDI, leading to IPR and its commercialisation, are many and varied, and an important element is public support (in the form of State aid) for RDI activities (Nyman-Metcalf, Dutt & Chochia, 2014). As stated by Dutt et al (2018; several EU countries such as Germany, Finland and Estonia promote entrepreneurship actively with aid programmes and start-up subsidies.…”

The research problem of this article focuses on how the public support system in Estonia can help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to acquire and commercialise their intellectual property rights (IPR) in a sustainable and legally permissible manner. The study aims to analyse and determine which specific public support measures are needed by SMEs for acquiring and commercialising IPR and how to design such public support within the legal boundaries set under European Union (EU) laws. The theoretical framework used in this study is built around the social system as defined by Parsons. The 4S Model (based on scope, scale, skill and social networking) derived by researchers from the said social system is considered. Further, 19 key attributes were devised by the authors in conjunction with the role of motivation to form a revised framework. The analysis employs qualitative research methods. To apply the framework of social systems theory, the authors used semi-structured interviews as a method to study the public support measures required by Estonian stakeholders. This was also analysed in the framework of EU State aid law, which poses both restrictions and exemptions. This research presents several desired support measures. Although the public support systems for acquiring and commercialising IPR by SMEs are restrained by legal frameworks within the EU, the analysis of the relevant laws and cases shows that State aid for RDI purposes is legally permissible within the EU, depending on the state’s willingness and availability of funds.

“…An additional focus area is intellectual property rights which are granted usually by the national governments or international organizations. Intellectual property rights are crucial to the performance of a business while they are beneficial to all economic sectors and they should be protected through bilateral and multilateral agreements internationally (Nyman-Metcalf et al, 2014). The research also seeks to define areas regulated by similar Tallinn University of Technology (ISSN 2228-0588), Vol.…”

On 28 March 2018, the European Commission published a press release stating that there is a plan to revoke all.eu domains owned by the United Kingdom’s individuals and entities due to Britain’s exit from the European Union. The article highlights issues related to the process of the UK leaving the EU, gives examples from other fields of the Union law and the national law of the Member States which have experienced similar situations and also points out the fundamental rights that the Commission needs to comply with. The basics of domain names are also partially covered to inform the reader about what domain names are based on and of existing regulations in the field.
