Intellectual Property Rights in a North-South Economic Context

American University

JUAN CARLOS GINARTE

American University

There is a need for strong intellectual property rights in less developed countries, particularly for production-related innovations. Intellectual property protection can solve market failure problems and, through a policy "credibility" effect, encourage innovations and international technology diffusion. The article outlines the need for such protection and critiques some of the arguments for making an exception to strong protection in less developed countries.
