3. The Problem
• Limited research and data on the
operation and success of IP
marketplaces
• Research focused on the
developed world
• No clear solutions for creation
of IP marketplaces in developing
countries

5. Literature
Review Key
Findings
• Value from IPRs are not created
in isolation but rather through
productive collaboration
between stakeholders seeking
different types of value from
IPRs.
• It is important to identify the
potential conflicts of interest
and avoid these conflicts to
realize the productive potential
of IPRs.

• The 11 shortfalls are all
causally linked so
improvements in one area will
impact others and through a
broad field of interventions in
the IP market, this can lead to
a more efficient IP
marketplace.

12. Thank you for your
attention!
As the IPR world skyrockets
into the 4th industrial
revolution, developing nations
need to respond with vigour to
run the innovation race or risk
being left out of the race
altogether.
