“…In other words, (6) considers the case in which the domestic economy imports newly developed frontier technologies from abroad. Although newly developed technologies represent an important source of technology transfer to developing countries, it is conceivable that previously developed technologies that have not been adopted by developing countries also represent another important source of technology transfer.…”

“…5 Recently, the Third Amendment to the Chinese Patent Law was approved in December 2008 and came into e¤ect in October 2009 with the objective of building China into an innovative country with well-protected IPR by 2020. 6 Following these patent reforms, research and development (R&D) as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP) in China increased from 0.7% in 1992 to 1.7% in 2009. As for the in ‡ow of FDI to China, it increased from US$11 billion in 1992 to US$185 billion in 2010.…”

Inspired by the Chinese experience, we develop a Schumpeterian growth model of distance to frontier in which economic growth in the developing country is driven by domestic innovation as well as imitation and transfer of foreign technologies through foreign direct investment. We show that optimal intellectual property rights (IPR) protection is stage-dependent. At an early stage of development, the country implements weak IPR protection to facilitate imitation. At a later stage of development, the country implements strong IPR protection to encourage domestic innovation. Therefore, the growth-maximizing and welfare-maximizing levels of patent strength increase as the country evolves towards the world technology frontier, and this dynamic pattern is consistent with the actual evolution of patent strength in China. We are very grateful to the anonymous Referees and Patrick Francois (the Editor) for their insightful comments that have improved the manuscript signi…cantly. We also would like to thank Elias Dinopoulos, Rachel Gri¢ th, Oleksandr Talavera, Fabrizio Zilibotti, and seminar participants at

“…La segunda razón es la débil protección de los derechos de propiedad del país, situación que facilita la imitación (Akiyama y Furukawa, 2009), disminuye la captura de rentas de las inversiones en I&D por parte de las firmas (Teece, 1986) e impone altos costos relacionados con la defensa de sus derechos sobre la innovación (Nagaoka, Motohashi y Goto, 2010). A pesar de que en la presente investigación no se probó el efecto directo que tienen los diferentes niveles de protección intelectual sectorial sobre el conteo de patentes, sí se tiene en cuenta que la evidencia empírica muestra que una protección rigurosa es conducente a que la inversión en I&D se transforme en o refleje mayor conteo de patentes por país (Crawford, Fabling, Grimes y Bonner, 2007;Danguy, De Rassenfosse y De la Potterie, 2009).…”

ResumenEsta investigación contrasta los determinantes del esfuerzo innovador y del conteo de patentes de sectores industriales de una economía emergente. En muchos estudios se tiende a considerar el gasto en I&D y el conteo de patentes como indicadores de desempeño innovador. Sin embargo, el presente trabajo prueba que el esfuerzo innovador y el registro de patentes son dos comportamientos diferentes, no directamente relacionados y sin los mismos determinantes. Se usan datos provenientes de la tercera encuesta de desarrollo e innovación tecnológica (DANE–DNP–COLCIENCIAS). Los resultados sugieren que las condiciones del desarrollo tecnológico e institucional de Colombia se reflejan en relaciones entre determinantes y los dos indicadores de desempeño innovador, distintas de las que se observan en países industrializados.Abstract In this research are contrasted the determinants of R&D investment and patent count of industries belonging to an emerging country. In many studies is common to consider indistinctly these indicators as a proxy of innovation performance. However, this research shows that R&D investment and patent count are two different behavior: these don not have necessarily a direct relationship and the same determinants. It was used de data provided for third survey of Innovation and Technology Development (in forward EDIT) (DANE–DNP–COLCIENCIAS). The results obtained suggest that the institutional and technological conditions of Colombia are reflected in some relationships between innovation determinants and both innovation performance indicators used different from that observed in industrialized countries.

Legal enforcement against illegal imitation in developing countries

This paper investigates the effect of seizing illegal imitations within developing countries on imitation, innovation, and economic growth. The model shows four main results. First, a higher seizure rate does not always decrease imitative activity in the South because it may encourage the infringer to commit repeated offenses. Second, the model shows a U-shaped relationship between innovation and the strengthening seizure rate. Third, numerical analysis indicates that a sufficiently high seizure rate that is larger than a critical value is required to enhance economic growth. Finally, unlike seizure, the extended model shows that a prohibition on importing Southern illegal imitations in the North necessarily lowers imitative activities.JEL-Classification: O31, O34, L16.
