Intellectual property protection is an important ingredient in the market success of knowledge-intensive enterprises operating in the information technology industry. The governance and the extent of protection of intellectual property related to software often seem to be connected to certain characteristics of an enterprise, such as its type and size. By analyzing the publicly available data, the author identifies various patterns primarily concerning the structure of ownership and management of the software enterprises in Croatia. The analysis reveals that all of the top 500 software enterprises according to revenue are closed, with the overwhelming majority being owner-managed and small or micro-sized. This would suggest that most software enterprises in Croatia are passive when it comes to their intellectual property. In relation to this, the author describes three profiles of enterprises depending on their attitude towards the governance of intellectual property. The author also formulates and explores four possible complementary approaches to the protection of intellectual property, both legal and non-legal, in addition to discussing various types of intellectual property rights with the aim of identifying those that are more suitable for the protection of different types of software.

AbstractThe purpose of this article is to assess how Islamic finance can act as a vehicle to enhance the current intellectual property rights regime in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). Islamic finance has developed within the constraints of sharia law and has been a growth sector for the GCC. This article will identify the main principles of Islamic finance that contribute to the success of Islamic finance, which can enhance intellectual property protection in the GCC. The main sharia-compliant areas to be considered are musharaka, mudaraba, murabaha, takaful, istisna, ijara, salam and sukuk. The article will outline the founding principles of Islamic finance, the governance of sharia boards, development of Islamic finance in the individual GCC states, different frameworks of sharia-compliant investment products and the impact of intellectual property rights on the varying Islamic finance investment tools. Furthermore, the article will discuss an integrated approach to intellectual property rights which learns lessons from the Islamic finance sector in relation to infrastructure, regulation and sharia compliance. The lessons learnt from Islamic finance will inform the overall framework of recommendations for an Islamic intellectual property model. The use of Islamic finance as a vehicle to promote better intellectual property rights in terms of defining a new intellectual property approach is novel. It is aimed at spearheading further research in this area, and it will form a part of the overall integrated approach proposals to intellectual property protection in the GCC and beyond.

Open Debate

As a contribution to the open debate regarding the effect of Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) on innovation, this chapter postulates that the adoption of strong IPRs is not a necessary condition to foster innovation in the plant breeding industry. The chapter studies the evolution of the soybean breeding industry in the US and Argentina and shows that regardless the level of intellectual property protection, if there is an attractive and profitable market, firms may search for different appropriability strategies rather than changing their innovative behavior. The chapter finds that the growth rates of new soybean varieties are similar in both countries and the adoption rate is faster in Argentina where the IPRs system is weaker.

Business In China

Over the last 40 years, China has developed laws for the protection of intellectual property rights. Unfortunately, these laws have not been uniformly enforced, making such protection problematic for Australian and other foreign organisations wishing to do business in China. This article first scrutinises the current Chinese laws covering intellectual property protection. It then examines the outcomes of a qualitative study that addressed intellectual property protection issues faced by selected Australian organisations conducting business with Chinese counterparts located in China. Forty Australian business managers/owners from Australian companies having business relationships with Chinese firms were interviewed for this study. The findings show that protection issues are only relevant to certain types of businesses that have intellectual property to protect. Nevertheless, a number of the managers/owners interviewed believed that infringement threats were real and inevitable in China, and some had even experienced cases of copying. The study found that, despite such concerns, there was little evidence of organisations taking proactive and positive steps to adequately protect their intellectual property. In order to address this, the authors of this article have developed a protection strategy that incorporates the use of the law, together with firms’ organisational designs, so that foreign firms can protect their rights when interacting with the Chinese market.

Lurik fabrics, fabrics in the form of lines, are one of Indonesia's traditional woven fabrics that must get support to survive in competition with other fashion products, both nationally and globally. The complexity of the problems faced by small and medium industries engaged in weaving requires support from various scientific fields, namely industrial engineering, fashion, management, and information technology. In general, the support provided is to increase the quality and quantity of products produced, improve management, and expand the marketing network. Each of these divisions provides direct technical support in accordance with existing concrete problems. The industrial engineering division rearranged the production space so that it is more comfortable, safe and conducive to work. The Clothing Department provides training in the manufacture of derivative products from striated fabrics, so that derivative products with high economic value will be produced to be marketed. The Management Division improves the management of financial records and marketing planning, as well as the management of Intellectual Property Rights for their lurik motives. Information technology department, created a website for wider information dissemination, and created an online shop in several existing marketplaces. Some of the results of this assistance include a neatly arranged production room, a production machine with a production capacity of 2 times as much; 6 employees master the manufacture of derivative products with 3 product variants; 5 Intellectual Property Rights for lurik motives; 1 active website; 2 online shops. Overall, these activities have increased the quality and quantity of production produced, as well as market expansion.
