Trade and Intellectual Property

It’s difficult to achieve innovation without the protection of ideas, and as a growing share of global economic value creation and exchange has become knowledge-based, intellectual property rights and protections have become an increasingly important facet of global trade. This category includes all GTIPA-member reports addressing trade and IP issues.

Why Intellectual Property rights matter for COVID-19

The development of COVID-19 vaccines and treatments over the past year has been nothing less than a triumph of innovation. The unprecedented speed with which researchers and life sciences companies have met this challenge is astounding.

2020 International Property Rights Index (IPRI)

The Index measures 129 countries to offer a comprehensive insight on the strength of physical property rights, intellectual property rights, and the legal and political environments that enforce them. The unprecedented pandemic has quickly spread to all the continents and the world is expecting a vaccine to stop the fear. Global crises like the Coronavirus pandemic are critical in transforming research and innovation potential into solutions. Rapid response requires confidence in an IP system that works and policy that supports business.

Τhe impact of artificial intelligence on intellectual property rights

Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to those systems of computer science that demonstrate intelligent behavior and are concerned with building smart machines. Some recent headlines refer to paintings produced by machines or drugs discovered by computer programs. The number of enterprises implementing AI technologies has grown by 270 percent over the past four years with a profound impact on the world. AI is already having a significant impact on the creation and distribution of goods and services. One sector that has been revolutionized by AI is healthcare, where drug discovery and development has been speeding up.

A techno-globalist approach to IP and supply chain disruption

Responding to techno-nationalism need not be a binary choice between decoupling and engagement with China. Global IP-protective strategies can also help remedy the IP theft concerns underlying US-China trade tensions. More practical approaches that incorporate IP strategies can help build stable, durable, and resilient supply chains.

The Netherlands wants to implement plain packaging for vaping products. Big mistake! Discover why…

The Property Rights Alliance submitted comments to express its significant concerns about the Dutch Executive Order– a proposed bill that would introduce plain packaging (PP) for vaping products and e-cigarettes from 1 January 2022. This measure will create an inhospitable environment for intellectual property rights. Intellectual property rights are human property rights covering dynamic assets and should never be weakened or diluted to meet other political objectives.

The Latest Economic Freedom Report Shows a Worrying Decline of Property Rights in SA

Last week, the Fraser Institute, a Canadian think tank, confirmed what many of us already know - property rights in South Africa are in serious trouble. Of the 42 indices that the Economic Freedom of the World report measures, South Africa's score has quickly declined in the area that is arguably the most important for a functioning and prosperous nation: the protection of property rights.

Changes in U.S. Patent System Linked to Decrease in Venture Capital Funding

Intellectual property rights are the backbone of innovative businesses that release breakthrough technologies allowing more people to live longer, happier, healthier lives. A key ingredient to many technological breakthroughs has been the role of venture capital funding that relies on intellectual property rights to leverage long-term investments that otherwise would be prohibitively risky. However, changes to the U.S. patent system have effected how venture capitalists take on IP-intensive investments.

Will the EU’s Unitary Patent System Resolve Uncertainty?

The unitary patent is designed to lower the regulatory burdens affecting IP-intensive industries. It reduces unnecessary compliance costs associated with current regulations and promotes innovation, which is a driving force for economic success. Yet questions about how the UP system will adjust to an EU without the UK and allow a patent term adjustment period to ensure adequate protection in the market need to be resolved sufficiently before the new system begins.
