“…With the recent collapse of the Doha Round negotiations, GIs remain important within the EU, of concern to the USA, and sought after by increasing numbers of developing nations. Ismail and Fakir (2004) argue the potential importance of GIs to a developing nation, South Africa.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship of geographical indications (GIs) with real property valuation and management. Design/methodology/approach -The paper considers existing and developing legal frameworks and current guidance with practical examples to support points made. Findings -GIs have been overlooked to date in valuation guidance yet have a relevance that needs to be addressed. They are also relevant to practice and theory in other areas, for example compulsory purchase and planning.Research limitations/implications -The paper identifies issues and problems: it does not suggest complete solutions, which in particular areas will need to be based on further research. Practical implications -The paper has a high degree of practical relevance. Originality/value -The paper is believed to be the first to consider the implications of GIs on real property valuation and management. The research identifies a gap in present valuation guidance and the potential for inconsistency in approach. The paper highlights the importance and relevance of GIs.

“…It can be said that IK can increase food security if, for example, small-scale farmers improve on the methods they use to increase food security and patent it as patents proffer rewards for the inventors (Ismail & Fakir 2004). According to Tweheyo (2018), indigenous peoples' protection of their IPR is extremely vital.…”

This article examines the role of indigenous knowledge (IK) in increasing food security. It questions whether IK can be regarded as inferior to increasing food security given that food scientists and technologists use scientific methods in increasing food security. The rationales for the examination stem from the notion that while IK has been recognised as one avenue for increasing food security, such knowledge is treated as inferior to modern measures or techniques. People who use IK are associated with poverty, backwardness and superstitions. Indigenous knowledge is often marginalised and given little attention in the mainstream studies, research and development institutions. Many professional experts tend to scoff or criticise such knowledge system, viewing them as nonsensical, superstitions, irrational and mythical. The article explores a theoretical research based on an extensive literature review for using IK in increasing food security and advances reasons why IK may or may not be regarded as inferior to increase food security. The theoretical research may be seen as a limitation in this topic, as an empirical research based on interview may have produced a better result. The article reveals that both modern technologies and IK play an important role in increasing food security. Following that IK as Intellectual Property (IP) is taking new significance in the search for answers to many of the world’s most vexing problems, the article proposes measures within Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) in the form of patent and other approaches through which IK could be applied with other scientific methods to increase food security.

“…They also suggest that firms in developing countries make more profit from the initiation of trademarks than from the registration of domestic patents. Ismail and Fakir (2004) note the difficulties of intellectual property registration and protection for the developing countries' residents. The business of developed countries assign and register rights to these objects, thus creating trade barriers for entering the market to the firms from developing countries.…”

Purpose – the purpose of the study is to define the sources and restrictions of new industry development based on the R&D -related factors of the countries studied; to show the conditions of inequality based on the existing infrastructure, which are obstacles for achieving an advantage in technology. Research methodology – the panel studies were conducted on four groups of countries divided by the level of GDP per capita. High technology exports and charges for the use of the intellectual property were used as dependent variables. Findings – as a result of the study, the factors that influenced the dependent variables in each of these groups of countries were identified. The differences in the significance of factors are shown. Research limitations – the limitations of the study are significant gaps in the time series for a number of countries. They make it impossible to use such data in the econometric model. Some indicators are taken into account relatively recently, which makes it impossible to consider long-term trends. Practical implications – the results of the research should help the country decision-makers optimize measures to develop domestic R&D and innovative production. Originality/Value – the originality of the research is the study of country sets grouped by the level of GDP per capita. The specifics of patents and trademarks influence on the innovative activity of countries with different income levels are determined.
