“…Helpman (1993) theorized stronger IPRs in the south to be welfare decreasing in the south. Lai and Qiu (2003) concluded that global welfare would increase if the south-strengthened IPRs, but that this improvement in global welfare would occur at the expense of the south. Grossman and Lai (2004) came to a similar conclusion, finding that the harmonization of IPRs between the north and south benefits the north at the expense of the south.…”

AbstractPurpose -The purpose of this paper is to provide evidence that the U-shaped relationship between intellectual property rights (IPRs) and per capita gross domestic product (GDP) observed in the past literature using a panel of data is not a consequence of longitudinal forces, as has been previously postulated, but instead a consequence of cross-sectional influences. Design/methodology/approach -Differences in the longitudinal and cross-sectional relationship between IPRs and per capita GDP are analyzed through a variety of methods, including pooled regression analysis that isolates the regional differences that are critical in making an accurate longitudinal analysis from the panel data. Findings -Analyzing the country data reveals that a longitudinal U-shaped relationship is counterfactual, as countries generally do not weaken their IPRs once they are in place, barring a regime change or other alteration in their political economy. The significant U-shape link between IPRs and per capita GDP empirically observed in preliminary analysis of the panel data is instead a result of cross-sectional influences. Originality/value -Making the distinction between the cross-sectional and longitudinal relationship between IPRs and per capita GDP provides a more accurate insight about how IPRs change in a country as it develops.

“…However, some researchers question the inverted-U relationship because they think that the interests of IPR would taper off [6], and these studies believe that innovation can greatly increase IPR protection strength [7,8]. This thought has prompted the northern countries to promote strong IPR strength in the world and enhanced their technological innovation ability [9]. Also, higher IPR protection in the developing countries promotes intra-firm technology transfer, particularly patent-based technologies [10].…”

Abstract:With the intensive consumption and price rising of traditional fossil fuels, the development and utilization of renewable energy has attracted worldwide attention. Meanwhile, due to enhanced energy constraints and increasingly grim greenhouse gases, many countries all over the world have been developing renewable energy technologies to promote sustainable growth economically. Intellectual property rights (IPR) policy linked to renewable energy provides institutional guarantee for the development of renewable energy industry and technology. This study works to test the performance of IPR policies of renewable energy industry in China. We employed Cobb-Douglas production function and built on a quantitative policy indicator measurement system over the period from 2004 to 2013 to evaluate the impact of IPR policy of renewable energy industry on innovation and market development in China, which provides an all-round study on the IPR system by clearing up all IPR policy system that is related to the renewable energy industry. The results of Multiple Regression Models indicated that the current IPR policy of renewable energy industry are disconnected from China's reality because the innovation ability of the renewable energy industry has not been improved rapidly and that both the market transformation ability and market prospect of new energy technology patents are weak.

Innovation, Imitation and Intellectual Property Rights in Developing Countries

This paper sets up a vertically related market model in which imitation and innovation are endogenously determined to study the impact of intellectual property rights (IPR) protection on less‐developed countries. It shows how a less‐developed country switches from imitation to innovation as it develops. It is also found that the relationship between IPR protection and economic development is U‐shaped. The IPR protection tends to go down and then go up as income rises. This finding also conforms with that in the empirical literature on IPR protection.
