“…It is within host countries that have a substantive innovation base that the reform of IPRs may conceivably have greater economic impact in influencing FDI decisions (Maskus, 2000;Sherwood, 1997), as this provides MNEs greater assurance that their IPRs will be respected (Forero-Pineda, 2006). Thus, the incentive for MNE investment related to the protection of innovation is more likely to be enhanced through the presence of policies that offer greater protection of innovations through patenting (Allred & Park, 2007), such as the Paris Convention.…”

“…Some researches (Forero-Pineda, 2006;Tanaka & Iwaisako, 2014;Brüggemann, Crosetto, Meub, & Bizer, 2016), emphasize that IPRs have dynamic and static effects depending on the degree of the development of countries. Dynamic effects arise from the promotion of innovation, resulting in products of superior quality over time, providing well-being to consumers.…”

“…On the other hand, static effects can be reflected in the strength of IPR protection, reducing the frequency of innovation of firms (especially for sectors characterized by a strong frequency in innovation processes) through the monopolistic effects of patents and affecting consumer welfare through the payment of fees and licenses, which are more noticeable in developing countries. Forero-Pineda (2006), stresses that developed countries have exerted influence on developing countries towards a stronger position in intellectual property, covering both legislation and enforcement, thereby reducing the counterfeiting of firms with low system: challenges and perspectives technological capacity. Studies as such as Jandhyala (2015) and Cavalheiro, Joia and Veenstra, (2016), address how global and local pressures can influence the performance of IP policies and even protect domestic producers from external competition.…”

The protection of intellectual property (IP) is a crucial area to support the development process of any country, as it is in this context that the biggest strategic disputes are taking place. In recent years Brazil has developed some actions to achieve greater efficiency in the public IP management system, but are we on the right track? The present study seeks to present indications and points of concern regarding the performance of Brazil and to highlight the advances and challenges regarding the IP system, that can be used as a reference for future policies and actions. The methodological approach was structured based on a review in the literature, highlighting the scientific, economic and technological indicators on the development of IP and the main IP objects registered with the Brazilian national intellectual property body (INPI) in the period of 2013 to 2016, in the areas of patents, trademarks, industrial design, computer program, circuit topography, technology contracts and geographical indication.Keywords: Intellectual Property; Performance Indicators; Brazil. Análise do desempenho do sistema brasileiro de propriedade intelectual: desafios e perspectivas ResumoA proteção da propriedade intelectual (PI) se apresenta como uma área crucial para apoiar o processo de desenvolvimento de qualquer país, pois é neste contexto que as maiores disputas estratégicas estão ocorrendo. Nos últimos anos, o Brasil tem desenvolvido algumas ações para alcançar maior eficiência no sistema público de gestão de PI, mas será que estamos no caminho certo? O presente estudo procura apresentar indicações e pontos de interesse sobre o desempenho do Brasil e destacar os avanços e desafios em relação ao sistema de IP, que podem ser utilizados como referência para futuras políticas e ações. A abordagem metodológica foi estruturada com base em uma revisão na literatura, destacando os indicadores científico, econômico e tecnológico sobre o desenvolvimento de PI e os principais objetos de PI registrados junto ao órgão nacional de propriedade intelectual do Brasil (INPI) no período de 2013 a 2016, nas áreas de patentes, marcas, desenho industrial, programa de computadores, topografia de circuitos, contratos de tecnologia e indicação geográfica.Palavras Chave: Propriedade Intelectual; Indicadores de desempenho; Brasil.

“…In developing countries in particular, a strong IPR protection regime can be an impediment to accessing scientific knowledge and reduce the collaboration opportunities (Forero-Pineda, 2006). This has a negative effect on knowledge transfer between the local scientific community and established firms.…”

Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) develop and sell their products and services in a global market, but also have the ability to source knowledge from local, global and intra-MNE networks. We argue that sourcing knowledge from each of the three networks is contingent upon factors, such as the strategic choice made by the headquarters about the role of the research and development (R&D) subsidiary, the scientific richness of the host location, and the institutional (i.e. IPR -Intellectual Property Rights) distance between the home and host locations. We test our hypotheses on a dataset of 89 foreign-based R&D subsidiaries of Fortune 500 MNEs.Our results indicate that R&D subsidiaries with support lab mandates are less likely to use host and internal (intra-MNE) sources of knowledge and more likely to use the home location's sources of knowledge. Internationally independent labs are less likely to source knowledge from internal networks. Our findings show also that the scientific capability and availability of a technically skilled workforce in the host location is associated with the R&D subsidiary's use of local, rather than internal 2 knowledge sources. Finally, we find that weak IPR spurs the use of local knowledge sources, suggesting a role for technological spillovers.
