2. Spotlight is on knowledge
in today’s economy
• Knowledge, Weightless, Information, Digital
or Service Economy
• Factors of production:
Land, Labor, Capital, Intangibles
(Knowledge)
• Knowledge as useful Information (or
Service)
• Information as a “Public Good”
• Information as Property
6. Market-oriented Economy
• Playing Field: Unfair competition; free riding
• National Legal Systems: Diversity (bilateral/regional/
international treaties or agreements)
• Adding Value : Meeting or exceeding market needs
or expectations
• Market research: Consumers’ needs, competing
products or substitutes, gaps
• Technological innovation as an element of
marketing
7. Challenges in Today’s Economy
• Government regulation, market participants and consumers;
globalization, deregulation, quotas, tariffs, subsidies, market
access or non-tariff barriers
• Supply exceeds demand; fickle demand, risk, lean retailing
• Trust and relationships: Consistency vs. Innovation
• Changing needs: need for creativity and/or innovation
• Mass production, custom made, personalization, co-
creation/designing
• Supply, demand, production, value chain or network
• Innovation/creativity:
Customer, supplier, consultant, partner, competitor, standards
, product liability, risk sharing, ownership
8. Competition and Cooperation in
Today’s Economy
• Property: Right to Exclude/use/enjoy
• Share/leverage
• Physical vs. Intellectual Property
• One to one vs. one to many
• Physical manifestation/link to carrier/medium or
fixation
• Nature of competing/substitute products:
Functional, equivalent, class, set, related goods
9. What is intellectual property?
• An exclusive
• property right
• in intangible products
• of investment, creative intellect, or labor
• owned by the creator or by someone who
purchased it from the creator

10. Why does it exist?
• Incentive to create
– Ability to recoup investment
– Control over how a creation is used
– Recognition for unique ideas
• But without unduly restricting competition
– Limited duration
– Some public uses are still allowed
– Disclosure encouraged so others can improve on
the idea

11. Intellectual Property:
A Tool for Development
“In the age of the knowledge economy, the efficient
and creative use of knowledge is a key determinant of
international competitiveness, wealth creation and
improved social welfare.”
“An effective intellectual property (IP) system
embedded within a national strategy which anchors IP
considerations firmly within the policy-making process
will help a nation to promote and protect its
intellectual assets, thereby driving economic growth
and wealth creation.”

14. The Challenges to the IP System
• Expand, adapt, fine tune, harmonize
• New categories (Sui generis systems)
• National, regional or global
• National treatment vs. reciprocity
• Digital environment and E-commerce
• Legal jurisdiction, applicable laws
• Fit for purpose: Clear, fast, cheap and
effective
• Simple and cogent
15. Basic Message 1
IP adds value at every stage of the value chain
from creative/innovative idea to putting a
new, better, and cheaper, product/service on the
market:
Patents / Trademarks/ GIs
Utility Models/Trade secrets Ind. Designs/Patents/Copyright
All IP Rights
Patents / Industrial Designs/
Utility models Trademarks/GIs
Invention
Commercialization
Marketing
Financing Product Design Exporting
Literary / artistic Licensing
creation
Copyright/Related Rights

16. Basic Message 2
• IP Strategy should be an integral part of the
overall business strategy of an Enterprise
• The IP strategy of an Enterprise is influenced
by its creative/innovative capacity, financial
resources, field of technology, competitive
environment, etc.
• BUT: Ignoring the IP system altogether is in
itself an IP strategy, which may eventually
prove very costly or even fatal

17. Basic Message 3 (More for Less)
• Own Use
• Licensing
• Franchising
• Merchandising (Mickey
Mouse, Hello Kitty)
