The paper is derived from a study carried out among the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN), comprising of Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Brunei Darussalam, Vietnam, Lao PDR , Myanmar and Cambodia [Macdonald, Turpin and Ancog (2006)]. The study focused on the relationship between the region's intellectual property rights (IPR) system and the innovation of its SMEs. IPR administrators and policymakers appear convinced that SMEs need IPR to be competitive. They are confirmed in this opinion by pressure to comply with the Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights Agreement (TRIPS). Despite an extensive survey and many interviews in SMEs and relevant agencies in the ASEAN countries, the authors could find little evidence to support this belief. The business strategy of SMEs relies more on copying and deft, niche-focused marketing rather than on the prevailing IPR system.

AbstractWith the topic “patents from universities”, the article deals with a current problem of university policy that up to now only has been discussed in detail and controversially within the political context. It intents an economic analysis of the recent legal changes regarding the abolition of the privilege of full professors on university inventions (Hochschullehrerprivileg). By this, the universities are granted the right of use and exploitation of inventions emanating from such institutions. The article analyses the conflict between the traditional publication as well as the public disposal of research outcomes and the possible exploitation strategies on new findings generated by universities. Based on the Intellectual Property Rights Theory it discusses different uses of university patents and draws conclusions for an university patent policy pointing out implications for research and teaching activities, the financing of universities as well as their role in innovation policy.
