- Title
IPRs, Technological Development, and Economic Development.

- Abstract
The article focuses on the economic value of patents and intellectual property rights (IPR) law. The issue of IPR was included in the World Trade Organization's 1994 negotiation of the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights or TRIPS agreement. The United States has a "first-to-invent" policy while most other countries employ a ¿first-to-file¿ system, a difference that can impact the strategy for establishing patents under different regimes. The scope of the patent's claim is also an issue that companies must consider. Other topics include the static and dynamic effects of the patent system on technological and economic development. There are references to studies by Foray and Lundvall (1996), Cowan, David, and Foray (2000), Cooke (2002), Dolfsma and Soete (2006), Dolfsma (2005), Fritz Machlup (1958, 28), and others.
