Intellectual
property rights (IPR) – the copyrights, patents, trademarks and similar rights
upon which the lion’s share of creative and innovative products and services
rely – have a vital role in helping the economies of developed and developing
countries all over the world grow.
How
intellectual property protection contributes to society
Benefits
the Economy
Sectors that rely on IPR represent a significant part of developed and
developing economies, in terms of GDP, employment, tax revenues and strategic
importance. IPR also promotes foreign direct investment (FDI) and technology
transfers in developed and developing countries. As the 'knowledge economy'
advances, more and more of the value that firms and the overall economy achieve
will come from high value-added intangibles - including IP in inventions,
brands and works. In many companies even now, 80% or more of their market value
is attributable to intangibles, including IP.
Promotes
Innovation
Effective IPR increases funding for research and development and other
innovation, including by helping firms realize more value from innovations that
are protected by IPR than those that are not. IPR underpins development of
cultural expression and diversity, and promotes broader dissemination of
innovations through publication and licensing.
Helps
firms monetize their innovations and grow
Firms use IPR in diverse ways to help them develop, trade in, and secure income
from their innovative products and services. Firms that use IPR generally
succeed better and have a higher market value than those that do not.
Helps small and medium
enterprises (SMEs)
SMEs use IPR more extensively in many cases than large companies. SMEs that use
IPR report higher growth, income and employment than those that do not.
Benefits
consumers and society
IPR helps provide consumers with innovative products and services in virtually
every area of life, and helps protect consumers from counterfeit and pirated
products. IPR encourages competition among diverse product, function and
quality offerings, giving consumers a greater choice among the goods and
services they want and need. IPR also provides important mechanisms to help
address many of society's most important needs, from clean energy and reduced
carbon emissions to health care and a truly 'digital economy'.
