Abstrakt:

It is widely accepted that the dissemination of knowledge and technology transfer are essential factors for the economic growth. Motivated by a trend of the past two decades towards tightening intellectual property rights (IPRs) protection this paper considers a fundamental issue whether IPR protection plays a facilitating or hindering role in technology transfer to developing economies. The first part of the paper reviews international protection of IPR. In the spirit of TRIPS Agreement developed countries shall provide incentives for domestic companies to promote innovation and technology transfer. In the second part the article presents an analysis of welfare implications of the South states as a result of increased IPRs The final part gives recommendations for domestic policies.
