Foreign investment, especially FDI plays a role more and more important for economic growth and international integration. However, the flux of FDI in the world is influenced by many determinants such as the population, GDP, the education level, the law on intellectual property right… Analyzing these determinants of FDI could contribute to find out the trend of global FDI and the solutions for developing countries to attract more FDI for economic growth.

It’s cannot deny that intellectual property right laws, in certain aspects are possible for using to protect traditional knowledge from their utilization. However, in the same time, intelectuual property rezim also become “a tool” to legitimate of biopiracy practices. Due to the massive of international pressure, mostly developing countries, and the awereness that intellectual property regimes doesn’t optimal to protect traditional knowledge, it develops a discourse to develop a sui generis law outside of intellectual property right regimes. By using the normative method and qualitative approach, this research shows that in order to develop the sui generis law in Indonesia, there are several minimum elements that shall be contained in it, inter alia: the purposes of protection; scope of protection; creteria of protection; the beneficiaries of protection: the holder of traditional knowledge; the kind of rights to be granted; how does the rights acquired; how to enforce it; how does the rights lost or expired; and dispute resolution.Keywords: protection, traditional knowledge, sui generis law

Considering and researching the content and essence of the main issues of this article through the prism of the current state of affairs in the domestic and global legal field, it is stated that such a legal phenomenon as intellectual property law is constantly increasing the importance and presence in jurisprudence and everyday life. Examples of the most successful experience of developed and democratic foreign countries in the field of legal support of intellectual property rights are considered. The potential of future introduction of one or another successful foreign example or the approach on which it is based into the Ukrainian social and legal realities is analyzed. The author's definitions of the concepts "intellectual property", "intellectual property right" and "enforcement of intellectual property rights" are offered. Emphasis is placed on the fact that in order to properly ensure intellectual property rights in Ukraine, it is first necessary to create and implement clear and effective legal regulation in this area. It is emphasized that not all methods and means of ensuring intellectual property rights, which have demonstrated success in certain countries, will be suitable for use in Ukraine. Therefore, the main focus of this article was not only to highlight successful examples of the functioning of intellectual property rights in developed countries, but also to select those that could be successfully adopted in the domestic legal field.

In this paper, we discuss the implications of the recent Intellectual Property Right (IPR) enforcement in the European Union (EU) as a potential factor affecting agrifood biotechnology industry stagnation. After presenting a theoretical framework justifying patents, we describe some controversial questions in the European patent protection related to: a) the distinction between discovery and invention and; b) the morality and ordre public exception to the patentability. Although we provide some evidence about the reduction in importance of agrifood activities compared to that of pharmaceutical areas of application, we conclude that differences between EU and other developed countries IPR legislations are not the principal regulatory controversial factor affecting activities in the agrifood biotechnology sector.

Intellectual property (IP) refers to the creation of mind: inventions, literary and artistic works, and symbols, name, and images used in commerce. Intellectual property rights (IPRs) have been widely recognised as a growth enhancing factor for the global economies as a whole. IPRs regime can influence the growth process through domestic and external sector of an economy. This study is primarily concerned with the effects of IPRs regime through external sector. Through different channels IPRs can promote economic growth in the recipient countries. The most important is technology transfer and its positive spillovers. Therefore, IPRs exert economic growth, which requires increase in productivity, increase in productivity requires increase in technological innovation and it requires the efficient protection of IPRs Rapp and Rozek (1990). The IPRs can influence the average growth more effectively in the open economies as compare to the close one Gould and Gruben (1996). Latter on Thompson and Rushing (1999) extended the model and included total factor productivity (TFP) in their growth model, which shows that IPRs have an insignificant impact on TFP for developed and developing countries but a positive and significant impact for the developed countries. To sustain economic growth it requires secured property rights system.

Purpose The process of innovation in developing countries is different from that of developed countries, with mature technologies often being adopted with limited success. Universities are increasingly being viewed by policymakers as engines of innovation through the technology transfer office (TTO). However, with the adoption of various new intellectual property right legislation, university TTOs in developing countries have had an inefficient approach to technology transfer. Framed in the above premises, this study aims to develop a Maturity Model to measure, through non-monetary indicators, the efficiency of TTOs. Design/methodology/approach The Maturity Model is inspired by the Berkley (PM)2 Model which allows an organization to determine strengths and weaknesses and to focus on weak practices to achieve higher maturity. Fuzzy analytical hierarchy process is adopted to determine the priorities and weights of the non-monetary indicators because they are ambiguous. Findings The Maturity Model to measure the efficiency of TTO cover the following efficiency areas: intellectual property strategy and policy; organization design and structure; human resource; technology; industry links; and networking. The model provides a theoretical continuum along which the process of maturity can be developed incrementally in TTO from one level to the next, moving from awareness, defined, managed, integrated and sustained stage. Research limitations/implications The Maturity Model needs to be tested and applied in TTOs in developing countries. Practical implications The Maturity Model provides a means to sustain the decision-making process more effectively, especially in those countries considered as an inefficient innovator. Originality/value The findings inform the design of a customizable solution to barriers to the success of technology transfer and highlight weaknesses within each institution or TTOs efficiency.

The current study explores the impact of intellectual property right, financial development and institutional quality on foreign direct investment. Data of patent index were used as a proxy of intellectual property right. Financial development index and institutional quality variables were taken from ICRG for the period of 1980- 2016, by applying pooled OLS, fixed test. Sample of 123 developing countries data set were used. The results are consistent with theory of OLI presented by Dunning 1979. The results explain more than 70 percent of FDI significance level is explained by these proxies. The only paper that identifies Patent right index is by Park (2008) that took patent index from 1960-2005. Furthermore, work is under taken where the patent right variables are taken as independent variables. On the contrary previous studies have empirically examined the effect of patent proxy effect on the creativity, innovations and the dissemination of the technology transfer. This study differs because patent index is included with institutional quality variables. Beside this the high level financial development is a catalyst in attracting FDI. Moreover, the FDI is higher in military regime, which is due to higher level of dis stability regime in the country. However, results shows that developing countries can improve regulatory quality by maintaining bureaucracy and accountability to enable them to take advantage from the external finance which further boosts the growth of economy

A lógica das redes permeia o estudo da sociedade e do poder, devido à interação entre atores sociais e a formação de redes de (contra)poder. O direito da propriedade intelectual não fica alheio, porquanto o acesso a medicamentos em determinados casos depende de mecanismos de afronta ao sistema de proteção dominante. Assim, a pesquisa tem por objetivo estudar o acesso a medicamentos no sistema internacional de proteção à propriedade intelectual sob a lógica do contrapoder exercido na sociedade em rede. Para tanto, utiliza-se o método de abordagem dedutivo, de forma que se aplica, como método de procedimento, o monográfico, bem como a técnica de pesquisa bibliográfica. Ao fim, concluiu-se que a afronta ao sistema de proteção à propriedade intelectual e a flexibilização do Acordo TRIPS é uma garantia de países menos desenvolvidos para acesso a medicamentos, alterando-se a programação e impedindo o sucesso de redes dominantes de poder. The logic of networks permeates the study of society and power, due to the interaction between social actors and the formation of networks of (counter)power. The intellectual property right is not alien, since access to medicines in certain cases depends on mechanisms of affront to the dominant protection system. Thus, the research aims to study the access to medicines in the international system of protection of intellectual property under the logic of counterpower exercised in the network society. To do so, the deductive approach and the monographic procedure are used, as well as bibliographic research technique is applied. Finally, it was concluded that the affront to the system of intellectual property protection and the flexibilization of the TRIPS Agreement is a guarantee of less developed countries for access to medicines, changing programming and preventing the success of dominant networks of power.
