Intellectual Property Rights’ issues are growing problems in accordance with the development of science and technology. As examples of developments in biotechnology with the technology of genetic engineering led to the birth of the need to protect the results of biotechnology engineering. In developed countries Intellectual Property Rights has become part of everyday society, so that science and technology development in the country are always oriented to the protection of Intellectual Property Rights. Excellence in aspects of trade can be owned by developed countries because one of them is determined by the comparative advantage of the ability of science and technology that is related to the field of intellectual property rights.  Keywords: IPRs, law protection, economic benefit

Existence of contemporary, modern legal regulations in a certain segment of the national legal system, such as legal regulation of intellectual property rights is an assumption, but not a guarantee for the presence of efficient protection of these rights. The Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights-TRIPS is one of the most important documents related to the trade of intellectual property rights. This Agreement is one of the most important acts on harmonization and implementation of intellectual property rights at multinational level, whereby the intellectual property is assigned a new dimension-world globalization of this field, also promoted by technology development. Medical technology is an area of huge progress of concern to all of us. Finding an optimum in intellectual property protection among short-term interests in the maximum approach and long-term interests in promoting creativity and innovation is not always easy. Trying to transfer that at international level is even harder than in national, domestic conditions. Maybe the most interesting and exciting field of activity is definitely that of pharmaceutical inventions, where tension exists between the need to determine the landmark for research and development of new pharmaceuticals and the need for allowing greater availability of the existing pharmaceuticals. The acceptance of TRIPS Agreement means a way to establish legal and economic cooperation with European Union countries and all other countries. International standards oblige Republic of Macedonia to continuously harmonize our law with international conventions in the field of intellectual property rights.

This study uses an econometric approach to investigate the role of IPR protection on renewable energy adoption using panel data of 102 countries at five-year intervals over the period 1990–2005. The Ginarte-Park index is used as a measure of the strength of intellectual property protection while the adoption of renewable energy is measured by the share of renewable energy in total final energy use. The results reveal that the level of intellectual property rights protection and reform of the intellectual property rights regime do not have significant impact on renewable energy adoption, suggesting that IPR protection is not a cause for concern in the global quest for clean energy transition. On the contrary, we find that trade openness has a stronger influence in the transition to clean energy. Based on the findings of the study, we conclude that IPR protection does not influence renewable energy adoption except in high R&D countries; rather policy makers should concentrate efforts on economic factors, such as trade openness, that drive the adoption of renewable energy technologies.

The purpose of the study is to analyze the capabilities of blockchain technology as a tool for enhancing the security in management and protection of intellectual property rights in additive manufacturing. The study is research-oriented and is an introduction to the use of blockchain technology for intellectual property protection. The following methods are used in the study: the analysis of documents on the use of blockchain technology in industrial asset management and the protection of content creators' rights, as well as the expert survey to assess the reliability of the selected sources. The authors introduce the term blockchain and discuss the capabilities of this technology for intellectual property protection in the field of design and production. A digital platform is proposed to enable the file exchange. Moreover, the authors describe the three main steps for developing a digital platform based on blockchain technology: the development of specialized tokens to reward users, the definition of conditions that should be included in smart contracts and the size of awards and incentives for each interested party that gains access to the platform.

Intellectual property is a legal device that guarantees the individual or legal entity the protection of their creations, be they products or processes, covering copyright, industrial property and sui generis protection, modality in which the plant variety property rights are included. In this sense, this paper analyzes the intellectual property rights in the Brazilian agricultural sector, through a case study of the Inter-University Network for the Development of the Sugar-Energy Sector (RIDESA), by raising data related to research, development and protection of sugarcane cultivars, designated by the prefix Republic of Brazil (RB). In order to do so, a brief historiography of the evolution of legislation on the subject, the conditions and consequences of Brazil's adherence to international agreements such as “Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights” (TRIPS) and the convention of “International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants” (UPOV), as well as, a survey about the emergence and role of RIDESA as a collaborative innovation network was also carried out. As a result, it was possible to conclude that the issue of intellectual property rights on cultivars is multidimensional and suggest the need for creation of functional and consolidated models of knowledge management in collaborative innovation network. Among the elements and factors constituting the crisis in the Brazilian sugar-energy sector, mainly on the basis of the varietal census for the states of the northeast region (especially the state of Alagoas), it was possible to point the importance of RIDESA in the context of overcoming crisis of the sugar-energy sector through innovation.

Climate change and finite energy supply issues have received substantial public attention in recent times. It has been argued that a sustainable energy supply associated with the promotion of clean energy is an important engine of growth, which calls for sound protection to reinforce investments in the renewable energy market. This paper examined the effect of intellectual property rights (IPRs) on renewable energy production using the dynamic panel generalised method of moments (GMM) technique on data from 59 sample countries. The empirical results provided strong evidence that IPRs significantly drive renewable energy production. Greater protection rights motivate renewable energy firms to increase energy production from renewable resources. Our findings further revealed that stronger protection propagates the deployment of renewable energy technologies that ultimately promote renewable energy production.
