▼ Intellectual products, scientific knowledge, information, professional, scientific, spiritual and cultural potential of the society today are the driving force behind economic growth, determine the competitiveness of production. This sets a strengthening of the role of intellectual property. The crucial role of intellectual assets in the global economy growth determined the choice of innovative strategy by Ukraine in the 21 stcentury. The important part of that strategy is the development of the national legal framework that includes adoption of the national laws and accession to international agreements that become part of the national legislation. The solution of the problem of forming an effective system of protection of intellectual property is a prerequisite for building a strong background for an innovative model of Ukraine’s development, its modernization, and the raising of its competitiveness in a global social-economic system, and consequently - creating jobs in new industries that could shape a 21st century global economy - an economy based on knowledge. The following thesis is a qualitative study about intellectual property protection and intended for Ukrainian companies and for students as information paper because there is differences between the old system in former Soviet and the European/US systems that has to be understood and business in Ukraine as well as researchers/inventors has to adjust to this different situations in order for companies to exploit the full potential of their innovations, part of this is by IP protection.

▼ Successful innovations are achieved by combining employee ingenuity with firm resources. However, firms will suppress investment if employees can easily leave the firm and take these innovations with them. I provide new evidence on how changes to employee outside options impact innovation incentives using state court decisions to adopt the Inevitable Disclosure Doctrine (IDD), which strengthens firm trade secret protections by limiting employee mobility. I find that IDD adoption leads to an increase in innovation output and investment in high technology industries, where employee outside options are higher, but not in low technology industries. Furthermore, I find that these firms are able to hire talented employees. These results show that decreasing the ability of employees to leave the firm in high technology industries can be mutually beneficial.

▼ Intellectual Property is like any other ordinary property. There are rights attached to it that permit the owner to benefit from it. In our modern society, intellectual property plays significant roles such as advancing society through creating new things in areas such as science, technology and culture; steering economic growth thus creating new industries and products and enhancing the quality and enjoyment of life. With such benefits in mind, intellectual property must therefore not only be promoted but protected. This essay seeks to do an intellectual property audit in Lusaka covering private companies such as Trade Kings, National Milling and Zambia Breweries. The focus will be to establish the extent to which these companies carry out intellectual property audits, protection of trade secrets and trademarks. The findings of the study are:
Most manufacturing companies have a Trademark while very few have a Patent.
The most common method adopted for promoting and protecting the IP is by
statutory registration followed by raising public awareness via advertising and
through employment agreements;There is a serious lack of expertise to carryout IP audits in the manufacturingcompanies. Consequently, IP audits are not widely carried out;There are adequate domestic provisions for the protection of IP. The Acts
governing Patents and Trademarks provide adequate protection of IP assets;There were marked variations in the promotion and protection of IP between local
and foreign companies;The Patents and Trademarks journal is the main vehicle used by the Patents office to publicise the Patents and Trademarks in Zambia.
It is recommended that serious efforts be made to raise the intellectual property awareness among the manufacturing companies and the public at large so as to create an intellectual property culture. Further, that intellectual property audits be made a mandatory part of audited accounts of companies.

Regulating property rights to ensure sustainable management of wetlands in Kenya

▼ This study explores the linkages between property rights and the conservation and wise
use of wetlands in Kenya. The aim is to demonstrate that existing property rights regimes
and rules for their regulation do not engender conservation and sustainable utilization of
wetlands. The study argues that even at the international level, laws developed for
wetlands management, although urging for conservation and wise use, do not appreciate
and address the property and conservation nexus.
Wetlands are one of the most important yet threatened ecosystems in the world currently.
Despite progress from the early positions when they were viewed as useless, mosquito
infested and breeding grounds, whose utility could only arise from their conversion to
more productive uses like agriculture to current appreciation that wetlands have unique
attributes and perform varied important services to the ecosystem and are source of
unique goods, they continue to be degraded and lost at alarming rates.
The problem that the study responds to is how property rights can be regulated to ensure
conservation and wise use of wetlands in Kenya. This is done against the background that
despite the existence of an international legal framework, The Ramsar Convention on
Wetlands of International Importance especially as regards Waterfowl Habitat, coupled
by an array of laws and policies at the national level, wetlands destruction in Kenya
continues unabated. The study argues that land owners will only comply with
conservation imperatives, in the case of wetlands, if either compelled by law or given
appropriate incentives. The critical question, therefore, is what the appropriate linkage
should be, in the Kenyan context, between property rights protection and wise and
sustainable use of wetlands. What juridical tools and frameworks can be applied to
regulate property rights in land so as to guarantee the conservation and wise use of
wetlands in Kenya while protecting rights of holders of the property?
The thesis was largely based on library research, relying on books, articles and journals
both in physical libraries and from internet-based research, this was augmented by

Accessing electronic materials is a challenge due to the limited databases to which the
University is subscribed and the process of access. However, Robert Kibugi of the
University of Ottawa, acted as my unofficial librarian and research assistant, always

undertaking his PHD studies. Bosire Nyamori, played the role of editor and proof-reading
expert. If it was not for him, the study would have many more typographical errors.
The Friedrich Ebert Foundation gave me the space and opportunity to pursue this study
and also advanced to me the money necessary to pay fees at the University of Nairobi

way or the other contributed to the writing…

▼ The Intellectual
Property Rights from Publicly Financed Research and Development Act No. 51 of 2008 (IPR-PFRD Act) was promulgated on 2 August 2010 in South Africa which makes it mandatory for publicly funded institutions, such as the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN), to carry out technology transfer activities and correctly manage its intellectual
property (IP). UKZN is rated as one of the top three higher education institutions in South Africa in terms of research output and has a relatively large and diverse patent portfolio. Despite the significant investments made in promoting technology transfer activities at UKZN, the technology transfer office (TTO) has failed to successfully commercialise an invention since its establishment. The aim of this study was to identify the factors that affect the implementation of technology transfer at UKZN. Due to the small number of inventors on the TTO database, a qualitative study was conducted. The participants in this study comprised of eight inventors who had filed patent applications with UKZN’s TTO. The respondents were familiar with the TT process at UKZN and were able to provide rich detailed information. Face-to-face interviews were conducted to collect data from the respondents. An interview schedule was used to guide the discussions and where necessary, probe and follow-up questions were asked. The results of the study have shown that the majority of inventors were dissatisfied with the service provided by the TTO, more especially in respect of limited funding provided by the TTO and the lack of business and commercialisation expertise of the TTO staff. It was recommended that in order to become more effective the TTO must employ suitably qualified staff with expertise in commercialisation, networking and business skills; furthermore, larger sums of seed funding is needed to finance new projects. A major limitation of the study is that in order to protect the identities of respondents, the researcher had to withhold specific project details.

▼ Strong private property rights to land are recognised as fundamental to the economic growth of a country's legal system. Legal reform of inadequate and inefficient property rights laws is therefore essential. My thesis aims to address the lack of legal reform of the laws governing property rights to land in Nigeria. It does this by critically examining the Land Use Act set up as the primary body of legislation governing property rights in Nigeria.The thesis seeks to offer meaningful insights by proposing an institutional analysis of the limitations to reform of existing laws governing property rights to land in Nigeria. Several approaches of new institutionalism are explored in analysing identified constraints which exist within formal and informal institutions. Explanations of the absence of legal reform are addressed through themes examining formal and informal institutional structures which limit reform. Analyses of institutional structures highlight the significant role played by institutions in the etablishment and development of property right laws in Nigeria. An in-depth look at Nigerian private property laws and legally recognised interests on land exposes fundamental limitations to private property rights protection of individuals within the Nigerian state. The thesis provides valuable insights and addresses institutional limitations through consideration of strategies which would enable and assist legal reform of Nigeria's property rights laws. The study concludes by exploring three aspects. First, it offers reform proposals and analyses the functionality of the proposed reform suggestions. Second, it highlights principles of policy-making redesign within formal institutions. Finally, it offers strategies to assist reform within informal instituional structures.In short, the thesis focuses on enabling legal reform of Nigerian property rights laws to ensure the amendment, modification or excision of bad, inefficient laws in order to offer better protection of individuals' property rights to land.

▼ The philosophic justifications of private property reach back to the ancient world. Aristotle regarded secure possessions as necessary for successful social functioning, and Cicero understood government’s function to be the protection of private property. Renaissance and Enlightenment thinkers Hugo Grotius, Samuel Pufendorf, and John Locke argued vigorously for the importance of private property rights in human life. The work of late twentieth-century analytical philosophers John Rawls and Robert Nozick brought property rights to the fore of philosophical discussion.
In the field of global development, private property rights have come under critical re-examination in recent decades. It is increasingly understood that institutions guaranteeing the security of private property are a necessary ingredient for economic growth and social well-being in underdeveloped nations. Institutions are being established in accordance with consequentialist justifications of private property. In this thesis, after defining general moral rights and briefly discussing this current trend in favour of consequentialist understandings of private property, I will examine the two dominant schools of private property justification in philosophy: the consequentialist and the deontological, with an especial focus on consequentialist John Stuart Mill and deontologist John Locke. I end the thesis by examining, and simultaneously arguing for the power and enduring relevance of, the oldest philosophical justification of private property: the eudaimonist school led by Aristotle.

▼ Married women have had a discriminatory history where their rights to own property are concerned. For instance, until the nineteenth century, English common law did not recognise any rights of a married woman to exclusively own property. This position was justified by the doctrine of the unity of personality. Despite the fact that in many instances, married women contributed directly or indirectly, the position remained unfavourable to women.It followed therefore, that the plight of the married woman pertaining to property rights extended to, and manifested itself on the dissolution of marriage. Women initially had little, if any at all, claim to family property afl;er divorce. The predicament was however, remedied by the passage of a number of legislation which recognised married women's property rights during matrimony and on divorce.In a number of English speaking Afiican developing countries, on the other hand, the advent of colonialism introduced a dual legal system of customary laws and imported English law operating concurrently. The problem of such duality has been the difficulty of reconciling the two legal systems.A proposal of women's property rights on divorce, the problem has been acute in that although English law recognises such rights, the indigenous customary laws do not. In Zambia, for instance, customary law is unwritten and uncertain. This nature of customary law, coupled with the practice of mixing the two legal systems which are divergent especially in the area of family law, has rendered the whole issue of women's property rights after divorce undefined.Subsequently, it will be the contention in this paper, that certainty and lack of
definition of women's property rights after divorce, together with the practice of the indigenous customary laws are of graver effects on the woman married under customary law when compared to her counterpart married under statutory law.The primary aim and objective of the research will therefore be to illuminate the fiandamental and distinguishing features of statutory and customary law pertaining to women's property rights after divorce in an attempt to discover how best a unification of the two Zambian systems may be achieved, so as to ameliorate any inequalities, injustice and hardships likely to ensue.This paper will begin with an introduction which will focus on tracing the historical development of Zambian laws appertaining to women's property rights after divorce. This will include the major developments introduced by various legislation. Further, focus will be placed on tracing the influence of traditional society in women's property rights after divorce and its development to modem society. After discovering the relevant historical developments of both statutory and customary laws, chapter two will analyze specific provisions of statutory law and varying customary law relating to the procedure of property disputes. The analysis will be made with a view of pointing out the common factors in the customs which will in turn highlight the contrast with the…

TRIBAL RESERVED RIGHTS ON REGION ONE NATIONAL FORESTS AND GRASSLANDS.

▼ Many tribes with reserved treaty rights were forced to seek court enforcement to exercise rights to hunt, fish and gather forest products from national forests and grasslands. As a result, divergent judicial opinions between the federal Ninth and Tenth Circuit Courts ensued, but tribes have been successful in settling three areas of law, which are: 1) tribal members can exercise rights free from state regulation; 2) tribal governments have inherent sovereignty that allows them to regulate their members off-reservation; and 3) tribes have been awarded substantial portions of the salmon runs. Nonetheless, many questions remain unsettled by the judiciary, which has triggered some federal and tribal governments to seek negotiated agreements to ease the treaty implementation process including cooperative arrangements that provide among other things habitat restoration projects. These agreements do not take place over night; they often require years of building relationships before enough trust is built-up before parties can sit down with one another. In some instances, it actually took litigation or the fear of litigation for parties to structure a relationship that worked towards meeting mutual benefits. The risks of pursuing judicial remedies cannot be overstated when sovereignty hangs in the balance. As a result, negotiated agreements would likely continue into the future to better foster communication, cooperation, and coordination to everyone’s benefit.
The purpose of this paper is threefold: 1) to identify and document reserved resource rights held by Native American tribes within Region 1 of the National Forest System; 2) to identify and analyze how those reserved resource rights held by tribes within treaties have been interpreted by the federal courts; and 3) to inventory and evaluate the use of USFS/tribal cooperative agreements and contracts as a way to manage reserved treaty rights on national forests and grasslands. In addition, it is the conclusion of this paper that judicial risks will more likely lead to working out negotiated agreements as an alternative in the near future.

China and Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights: An Inquiry on Regime Compliance.

▼ This is a study on the compliance of China to the World Trade Organizationâs (WTO) Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual
Property Rights (TRIPS) before and after Chinaâs accession to WTO.
The study on pre-accession period focuses on the enactment of Chinaâs patent, copyright and trademark laws in the light of the provisions of the TRIPS Agreement. It also focuses Chinaâs adoption, revisions and amendments of the constitution, administrative, criminal, civil, judicial, and legal professional laws and procedures to make enforcements of the intellectual
property rights law effective. It likewise shows how the enactment of these laws consistent with the TRIPS Agreement is contributing to the development of the institutions of private
property and the rule of law. The result shows that while the pre-accession to WTO would indicate Chinaâs substantial compliance to the TRIPS Agreement, it also focuses on some weaknesses in the laws on the determination of what violation would constitute a criminal act. This problem would manifest later after accession.
The post-accession period sharply focuses on the performance of China in the
enforcement of their obligations under the TRIPS regime after 2001. The assessment of Chinaâs performance in enforcement focuses on the infringement cases, the complaints filed against China before the dispute settlement mechanisms of WTO, and the multilateral and bilateral reviews on Chinaâs laws and enforcement effort after its accession to WTO. The result shows the over-reliance of China on the administrative rather than the judicial remedies in its internal enforcement effort which resulted in the weak performance of infringement deterrence. The result also notes the shift from the reliance on internal to external measures in the enforcement of intellectual
property rights by the trading partners headed by US.
The result of the study which shows continuing reforms in the intellectual, civil, criminal and administrative laws after WTO accession to precisely address the issues raised against China in its enforcement effort is an indication of Chinaâs willingness to play by the international rules. While the reforms have not been met with optimism, the WTOâs TRIPS regime provides a sufficient mechanism to deal with Chinaâs TRIPS violations, and more importantly China is positively responding to it.

▼ The economy of Taiwan grows fast in the last few years. The traditional industry moves overseas because of the factors of the cost, environment issue...etc. Moreover, people want better quality of living that makes the technology and the high-technology industry of Taiwan improve fast. In the past, the tradition industry focuses on visible
property, for example: land, factory buildings and machines. The high-technology industry emphasizes the
property that is invisible called âIntellectual
Property Rightsâ. It is included interary
property rights, patent
rights, trademark right, opening secrets, and IC. It not only supports the development of the high-technology and competition in marketing but also brings in a large amount of license fees.
On the other hand, compare with other industries, the environment of the computer software industry is different from othersâ so that it has to face different problems. However, the copies of the computer software prevail nowadays. How to protect computer software has been an important issue. Therefore, the companies of the computer software industry have to increase their own competition ability and even stop their opponents to enter the markets. It is necessary to acquire the computer software patent. The way to acquire the patent of the software depends on the quality of the technique and knowing the patent law opinions of the patent examiners and how they examine the patent applications. There is a probe into the opinion of the patent examination system to software patent in this article and the way of gathering and analyzing real cases is used.
In conclusion, computer software patent isâ a technique of using computer softwareâ. It is an invention that fit the patent laws of our country and the rules of examination of patent. The techniques of computer software inventions combine the business models and the related techniques of computer software. Therefore,
In this article, the related law rules of intellectual
property rights, the allowed computer software patents and the related documents about computer software are standers for patent protection. Those are the basic reference materials that provide related industries ways of protection after computer software invented. Hopefully, the research can clear out the related problems that the computer software applicants might face.

▼ Historically, there have been two moral theories which
have dominated the analysis of 'intellectual
property': Natural law
theory and Utilitarianism. The former argues that authors have an
inalienable right to control the products of their minds while the
latter argues that the moral status of a law establishing
'intellectual
property' is inextricably tied to the attempt to
maximize societal well-being. In this thesis I argue that few
justifiable natural
rights to the products of our minds can be
found and, subsequently, the justification of such
rights must stem
from the latter theory. I argue that Utilitarianism places many
strong limitations on the extensiveness of the powers granted to
'intellectual
property' right-holders by a moral law. Finally, I
argue that independent of a given societal state-of-affairs, we
have two moral obligations: to follow the trend set by moral
authors, and to lend them our support.

▼ This thesis analyses how intellectual
property (IP)
laws are used in the home consolegame industry and in particular
how these laws are used to capture the returns oninvestment, which
may indirectly provide a stimulus to innovation. The relationshipis
evaluated in three selected markets: The United States (US), the
European Union(EU) and People’s Republic of China (PRC). The first
two of these are selected asrepresentative of developed markets
whilst the latter as an instance of an emergingmarket. This thesis
analyses and illustrates ways in which three major types
ofintellectual
property rights – patents, copyright and trademarks
operate in thissector of industry.This thesis evaluates this
relationship via a unique approach, adopting both a legaland
economic analysis. The thesis starts with a detailed market
analysis of thisindustry to identify key factors that affect
individual firms’ abilities to capturereturns on investment. This
is followed by section II (comprising Chapters II to IV)which goes
on to examine the effects of each type of IPR on these factors in
thedeveloped markets of the US and Europe. The analysis in section
III shifts the focusfrom these developed markets to the emerging
market in the PRC. It identifies theunique attributes and problems
of the Chinese market and demonstrates howcontemporary local IP
laws can be used to tackle these problems. It is the view ofthis
thesis that IP laws theoretically can be used to maximise a firm’s
return oninvestment while not distorting competition; hence, the
thesis suggests that IPRsmay indirectly create incentives to
innovate.

▼ The removal of property qualifications was the first major expansion of the American franchise and a significant moment in the history of franchise rights worldwide. Existing literature focuses primarily on the state level historiography or
the progressive narrative of American enfranchisement. This dissertation suggests that the early franchise expanded not out of altruism, ideology, or social evolution (high politics) but was rather dictated by partisan politics and institutional strategy
(low politics). By focusing on partisan politics and strategic behavior we can better understand how property qualifications were removed and also place the events in comparative prospective with other major advances in the franchise.

▼ Intellectual property rights (IPRs) have never been
more economically and politically important and controversial than
they are today. This is due to rapid introduction of high standards
of protections of Intellectual Property Rights in most of the
developing countries under the aegis of the WTO Agreement on Trade
related aspects of the Intellectual Property rights (TRIPS
Agreement). This issue is frequently mentioned in discussions and
debates on such diverse topics as relating to biological resources,
biotechnology, traditional knowledge, biopiracy, access and benefit
sharing, transfer of technology, agriculture, food security and
Public health. So IPRs have a number of socio-economic impacts
which require the adoption of a broader perspective, which sees
intellectual property protection within the context of sustainable
development rather than purely in terms of economic development.
The increasing economic importance of biological resources and the
question of the ownership of these biological resources have made
the allocation of Property Rights, as one of the most contentious
issues in the debate concerning biodiversity management at the
national and international level. IPRs are often granted to
individuals of one country over genetic resources obtained from
another country. Whereas the developing countries are host to most
of the remaining biodiversity and consequently assert property
rights over the actual resources while developed counties are host
to most of the research capacity in the field of genetic
engineering and are strongly in favour of the extension of
monopolistic intellectual property rights to foster the commercial
exploitation of biodiversity and related inventions These new
developments have led to the emergence of new conflicts concerning
the ownership of biodiversity and related knowledge, and have
forced states to rethink intellectual property rights regimes in a
fundamental way.

▼ Online Arbitration is an online alternative dispute resolution (OADR) process that resolves disputes without litigation outside national courts. Due to globalisation and increased e-commerce, international commercial online arbitration has become more important and it is therefore essential to look at the legal and technical requirements for a more effective international online arbitration regime or lex electronica arbitralis, specifically focused on disputes that arise from cross-border, low value e-commerce transactions for both goods and services, and especially between online businesses and consumers (B2C), but also between online businesses (B2B). The lex electronica arbitralis should lead to swift outcomes that will be able to be enforced efficiently anywhere in the world, without impairing the requirements of accountability, due process, efficiency, impartiality, independence, fairness, transparency, etc. The 'UNCITRAL Technical Notes on ODR of 2016' follows a non-binding guideline format, so there is currently no legal outline that exclusively regulates online arbitration. Due to this lacuna, the guidelines of the 'Technical Notes' and rules of traditional international commercial arbitration will have to be used as far as they accommodate online arbitration. Due to its unique features, online arbitration however needs an exclusive set of rules that will deal with its legal and technical requirements. The most comprehensive manner to have realised an online arbitration regime or lex electronica arbitralis would have been by the proposed 'UNCITRAL Draft Procedural Rules (DPR) on OADR for Cross-Border E-Commerce Transactions'. Unfortunately, since Working Group III (WG.III), who was mandated by UNCITRAL to compile the 'DPR', could not manage to reach consensus on many aspects, the 'Technical Notes' was adopted instead. The thesis will review WG.III's progress to complete the 'DPR' and how it eventually led to the adoption of the 'Technical Notes'. The 'Technical Notes' still leaves many questions and uncertainties on many of online arbitration's legal and technical requirements that will be pointed out. The thesis will indicate that these legal and technical requirements do not compose insurmountable challenges, but that UNCITRAL will have to address them when they decide to revise the 'Technical Notes' in the future or when they decide to compile a set of legal standards exclusively for online arbitration in the future. The focus will also be directed to the future of international arbitration legislation in a developing country such as SA, while a plea is made to SA lawmakers to make provision for online arbitration.

▼ Akcininkai, būdami bendrovės akcijų
savininkais, yra suinteresuoti pelninga ir efektyvia bendrovės
veikla, kadangi jie įsigydami bendrovės akcijų, siekia savo
privačių interesų tenkinimo, t. y. materialinės naudos. Todėl
akcininkai turi turėti galimybę aktyviai dalyvauti bendrovės
valdyme, kontroliuoti bendrovės valdymo organų veiksmus ir tokiu
būdu siekti apibrėžtų veiklos tikslų. Tokias galimybes akcininkams
suteikia neturtinės teisės. Šiame darbe yra analizuojamos
pagrindinės neturtinės akcininkų teisės Lietuvoje, pabrėžiama
tinkamo šių teisių įgyvendinimo svarba. Tai pat yra nagrinėjami šių
neturtinių teisių pažeidimo atvejai, jų sukeliamos pasekmės kitoms
akcininkų turimoms teisėms, šių pažeistų teisių gynimo būdai,
aptariamos pagrindinės problemos, su kuriomis susiduria akcininkai,
tiek rezidentai, tiek nerezidentai, norėdami jomis pasinaudoti. Tai
pat darbe yra nagrinėjamos Europos Komisijos pasiūlytos iniciatyvos
gerinti bendrovių valdymą Europos Sąjungos valstybėse narėse, o
ypač 2006 m. sausio 05 d. Europos Komisijos parengtas direktyvos
pasiūlymas dėl bendrovių, kurių registruotoji buveinė yra
valstybėje narėje ir kurių akcijomis leista prekiauti
reguliuojamoje rinkoje, akcininkų balsavimo teisių panaudojimui, iš
dalies keičianti Direktyvą 2004/109/EB.
Shareholders, being the owners of the
company’s shares, are interested in a profitable and effective
performance of the company, because by acquiring shares of the
company they seek satisfaction of their own interests, i.e.
material gain. Therefore, the shareholders should have an
opportunity to be actively involved in the management of the
company, control actions of the management bodies of the company
and, thus, pursue defined business objectives. Such opportunities
to shareholders are provided by their non-property rights. This
work analyses the main non-property rights of shareholders in
Lithuania, emphasizes the importance of proper implementation of
these rights. It also deals with infringement instances of these
non-property rights and their consequences to the rights enjoyed by
other shareholders, remedies for such infringed rights and
discusses major problems that shareholders, both residents and
non-residents, face in exercising them. The work also examines the
initiatives proposed by the European Commission to improve
corporate management in EU member states, in particular the
Proposal by the European Commission for a Directive of the European
Parliament and of the Council of 5 January 2006 on the exercise of
voting rights by shareholders of companies having their registered
office in a Member State and whose shares are admitted to trading
on a regulated market and amending Directive
2004/109/EC.

▼ All western states today define themselves as nation-states, and all of these states have a political and economic structure in which an individual’s right to own private property is an underlying and pervasive feature. Drawing on examples from the historical trajectories of the US and Norway between ca 1760 and 1880, this dissertation explores the development of nation-states and the role of private property rights in this development. I demonstrate the fundamental role both of the idea of private property for the ideology of nationalism, and of the significance of a particular kind of property regime (widespread landowning) for the emergence and development of nationalism as historical phenomena. The evidence on which this dissertation relies has been extracted from historical documents consisting primarily of political pamphlets and speeches. The documents are chosen from what we can call “the national movement” e.g. dominant public debaters, policymakers and agitators. To compliment and contextualize my documentary analysis I have drawn on a range of secondary literature on social, historical and economic developments. The analysis has sought to unravel nationalism as an emerging historical phenomena in each of the cases investigated by focusing on authorial meaning in specific historical contexts. The core concept of nationalism has been arrived at by continuously comparing the developments in the US and Norway. The main points that this dissertation make are that it was the emergence of more widespread smallholding of land that was one of the most decisive preconditions for the emergence of nationalism in the US and Norway. Furthermore, this dissertation suggest that widespread ownership of land resulted in the emergence of a form of nationalism in which ownership of landed property was crucial because it became tied up with the idea of national popular sovereignty. Put in a simplified way: sovereignty was popular because property was popular (widespread). This connection was made mainly on the one hand from the real historical tie between ownership of land, juridical sovereignty and political powers, and on the other hand from the more conceptual similarity between property rights or ownership and sovereignty. I have identified two forms of nationalism based on the way that property was understood in the national ideology. The first form of the nation describes the agrarian phase of nationalism where it was real landed property that was seen to be crucial for the creation of national sovereignty. The second form of the nation describes a form of industrial nationalism. With the coming of industrial property and the expansion of wage labour, landed property lost its significance, and instead the right to the fruits of one’s labour was understood as the most important part of the property right. I have called this a shift from land to labour, or a transvaluation of property. This property rights perspective on nationalism in the US and Norway contributes to a new understanding of nationalism not only in these…

▼ Kelley Williams-Bolar of Akron, Ohio used her father’s address to enroll her children in a “better school” than those available in her home district. She argued that their grandfather was their assistant guardian and the person with whom her children lived at various times throughout the school year. Her efforts to provide her children with a better education were deemed unjustifiable by the Copley Fairlawn School District and the court of law; legal charges resulted. A critical analysis of this case and the resulting charges is needed. This paper not only includes a critique of the punishment and consequences experienced by the Williams-Bolar family, it also seeks to reveal the “The Akron Mom” case as an example of educational disparities resulting from the intersection of race, class, and
property ownership. By drawing connections between the policies and procedures of school assignment and the chronic educational and social achievement gap between black and white students, the case of “The Akron Mom” is used as an example to not only show that deep-rooted discriminatory practices still exist within public education, but also ways in which constitutional mandates have failed to remedy racial, wealth based, and educational inequity in the P-12 public school system.

▼ This paper seeks to address the newest issue arising between songwriters and their record companies in the music industry which is the underpayment of royalties. This paper will seek to answer if with more and more artists and songwriters suing for compensation due to underpayment of royalties, will artists lose the incentive to create new music and eventually decrease overall production? Clearly defining and regulating intellectual
property and the use and efficiency of contracts will be topics for discussion. After testing my hypothesis, some results show no decrease, whereas, other results report some decrease in record company and songwriter incentives and in production. Therefore, in conclusion, the finding is that there is no clear association between underpayment and lack of production.

▼ This dissertation will take a theoretical approach to analyzing certain challenges in the design of intellectual property rights (`IPR') policy. The first essay looks the advisability of introducing IPR into a market which is currently only very lightly protected - the US fashion industry. The proposed Innovative Design Protection and Piracy Prevention Act is intended to introduce EU standards into the US. Using a sequential, 2-firm, vertical differentiation framework, I analyze the effects of protection on investment in innovative designs by high-quality (`designer') and lower-quality (`mass-market') firms when the mass-marketer may opt to imitate, consumers prefer trendsetting designs and firms compete in prices. I show that design protection, by transforming mass-marketers from imitators to innovators, may reduce both designer pro ts and welfare. The model provides possible explanations for the dearth of EU case law and the increase in designer/mass-marketer collaborations. The second essay contributes to the literature on patent design and fee shifting, contrasting the effects of the American (or `each party pays') rule and English (or `losing party pays') rule of legal cost allocation on optimal patent breadth when innovation is sequential and firms are differentiated duopolists. I show that if litigation spending is endogenous, the American rule may induce broader patents and a higher probability of infringement than the English rule if R&D costs are sufficiently low. If, however, R&D costs are moderate, the ranking is reversed and it is the English rule that leads to broader patents. Neither rule supports lower patent breadth than the other over the entire parameter space. As such, any attempts to reform the US patent system by narrowing patents must carefully weigh the impact on firms' legal spending decisions if policymakers do not wish to adversely affect investment incentives. The third and final essay analyzes the effects of corporate structure on licensing behaviour. Policymakers and legal scholars are concerned about the potential for an Anticommons, an underuse of early stage research tools to produce complex final products, typically arising from either blocking or stacking. I use a simple, one-period differentiated duopoly model to show that if patentees have flexibility in corporate structure, Anticommons problems are greatly reduced. The model suggests that if the patentee owns the single (or single set) of essential IPR and goods are of symmetric quality, Anticommons issues may be entirely eliminated, as the patentee will always license, simply shifting its corporate structure depending on the identity of the downstream competitor. If the rival produces a more valuable good, Anticommons problems are reduced. Further, if the patentee holds 1 of 2 essential patents, the ability to shift its corporate structure may reduce total licensing costs to rival firms. However the analysis offers a cautionary note: while spin-offs by the patentee help to sustain downstream competition, they may restrict market…

▼ The three essays contained in this dissertation are about technology and international trade. The first essay examines optimal intellectual property rights (IPR) protection in developing countries, while the other two estimate product quality at the sectoral level for a panel of twelve manufacturing sectors in twenty OECD countries using a novel approach and relate import competition and R&D investment to the growth of sectoral product quality. Chapter 2 is motivated by the work of Acemoglu and Zilibotti (2001), who argue that the technologies developed in the North are not appropriate for the needs of the South, due to a ``technology-skill mismatch'' problem. Chapter 2 tries to solve this problem by putting forward a sector-differentiated IPR protection for developing countries. Specifically, in autarky, the IPR protection in the low-skill intensive sector of the South should be greater than its high-skill intensive sector. However, the greater protection for the low-skill intensive sector is not necessary when free trade in the final good is allowed between the North and South. This implies that international trade can help the South solve the technology-skill mismatch problem. In Chapter 3, I estimate product quality at the sector level for twenty OECD countries based on a gravity equation derived from a quality-heterogeneity model of trade. I find that the estimated quality levels vary substantially across countries and over time, and as in Hallak and Schott (2011), there is a positive correlation between countries' product quality and their per-capita income that is declining over time. Lastly, the quality gap between rich and poor countries is more pronounced in capital- and skill-intensive sectors. Using quality estimates from Chapter 3, the fourth chapter investigates the contributions of import competition and R&D investment to the growth of sectoral product quality. I find that import competition leads to substantial quality upgrading, confirming the findings of Amiti and Khandelwal (2013). I also find that both R&D and human capital can facilitate quality upgrading by increasing the absorptive capacity of developing countries, corroborating the results of Fisher-Vanden and Terry (2009).

▼ This thesis discusses the legitimacy of fractional-reserve banking under the title-transfer theory of contract. Fractional-reserve banking is the practice of banks lending out some of the money that is deposited with them. This can be contrasted to a 100% reserve system in which all deposited funds are held by the bank at all times. The title-transfer theory of contract posits that all contracts are the exchange of title to some piece of property and that all title to a particular piece of property can only be held by one individual at a time. Fractional-reserve banking appears to create a problem for the title-transfer theory of contract since it seems that both the depositor of money and those who borrow money from the bank have title to the money that was originally deposited. This is what is known as the double-title to property problem.
Essentially, this thesis dissolves the double-title to property problem by offering a conceptual understanding of bank deposits as a form of call loan in which bank depositors give up title to money they deposit thus never creating an instance in which two titles to the same piece of property arises in the practice of fractional-reserve banking. This conceptual understanding of bank deposits describes fractional-reserve banking in a way which is ultimately different from how some who oppose fractional-reserve banking have described it. The call loan understanding views banks as debtors and depositors as their creditors who hold debt which is callable at any time. This understanding can be contrasted to the view that banks offers warehouse services that protect deposited money and bank depositors are people who seek to have their money protected and safeguarded by the bank.
This thesis then explores some of the practical implications of conceptualizing bank deposits as call loans. While some have argued that banks must be bound by different rules when it comes to treasury management, bankruptcy, and contract formation, this thesis explores how banks can operate just like any other business that must practice debt management while dealing with uncertainty. This analysis engages with existing criticisms which posit that business practices for fractional-reserve banks must be different from other businesses in order to protect creditors from conditions which critics claim do not appear in other industries. This thesis argues that any such concerns regarding the treatment of creditors by fractional-reserve banks can already be addressed by existing business ethics literature that applies generally to all industries.

▼ This research aims to understand how institutional transition towards a tight intellectual property rights (IPRs) regime under TRIPs affects the innovation strategies of firms from emerging economies. Focusing on firms from the pharmaceutical industry in India, this study attempts to address this broad research question by two different methodologies. Firstly, two in-depth cases studies are conducted to explore how latecomer firms are building innovation capabilities in response to a shift towards a tight IPRs regime under TRIPs. A cross-case analysis is then performed to identify the new innovation oriented learning and linkage practices of the sample firms. Secondly, drawing on the key findings of this cross-case analyses and enfolding these with literature related to innovation and latecomer firms, a set of propositions is developed to understand how a shift from a weak to a tight IPRs regime is likely to affect the innovation strategy of emerging economy firms. These propositions are tested by a comparative analysis of innovation practices of firms over two time periods, corresponding to a weak and tight IPRs regime, using ANOVA and discriminant analysis. The findings reveal that a shift to a tighter appropriability regime triggers latecomer firms to adapt both their innovation related learning and linkage practices. A tighter appropriability regime increases the propensity of firms for both exploratory and exploitative learning, developing their human capital base and expanding their codified knowledge base whilst increasing their propensity for building both formal and informal foreign linkages as well as formal linkages with local institutions. This study makes an important and new contribution towards building theory on how emerging economy firms adapt innovation strategies in response to institutional transition towards a tighter appropriability regime and its findings also have important implications for business practitioners and policy makers.

▼ The purpose of my dissertation is to evaluate different aspects of the impact of an intellectual
property rights (IPR) reform in developing economies. There are a few ways in which the reform will affect the economy. Specifically, I focus on the effect that IPR have on the decision of a multinational enterprise (MNE) to enter the host economy. Moreover, it is of great importance the impact of the IPR reform on the productivity of domestic firms through vertical linkages. These are the main topics of my dissertation.
The first chapter is a brief introduction, while in the second chapter, I provide an theoretical framework that motivates the empirical work of later chapters. The theoretical framework hinges on the MNEs decision of entering the host country through either foreign direct investment (FDI) or licensing.
In the third chapter I provide an overview of the country and the dataset to be used in the rest of the dissertation. I use Chilean plant-level data for the 2001–2007 period. It is crucial to note that the institutional framework of the country can affect the type and intensity of foreign presence adopted by MNEs in the host country. Therefore, it is important to analyze the effect of a change in the institutional framework, not only on foreign presence, but also on how domestic firms react to that change. This can be achieved by analyzing a set of new and stronger IPR implemented in 2005.
In the fourth chapter, I study licensing as one of the channels for technology transfer to domestic plants. This technology transfer can occur in one industry and also in related industries, which results in technology spillovers that can affect both intra- and inter-industry productivity. Note that, it is important to measure productivity as accurately as possible in order to search for spillover effects. Thus, the newest methods are used. I find that there is strong evidence for backward spillover effects. Moreover, these effects are reduced in the face of stronger IPR. I also find that the change in policy has a stronger effect on firms that are, on average, smaller and have low productivity.
Finally, I analyze the effect of stronger IPR on the choice of entry mode by MNEs into the Chilean market. MNEs can choose between exporting, introducing FDI and licensing to a domestic firm in Chile. I test the effect of the change in IPR on the overall foreign presence in Chile, controlling for the activity of industries where high levels technology transfer and imitation constitute an important factor. The main results show that due to increased IPR strength, the mode of entry chosen by MNEs change. In this case, FDI is replaced by licensing. This result could be explained by the higher production capacity in Chile during this period.

▼ Reproduction of copyright protected material in formats that are accessible to the blind and visually impaired persons constitutes a copyright infringement unless there are specific limitations and exceptions in place. Most countries do not have copyright limitations and exceptions for the benefit of the visually impaired in their copyright laws. This has contributed to the issue of book famine, meaning the unsatisfactory access to copyright protected material for the blind and visually impaired. This thesis examines the claims of the visually impaired for improved access to copyright protected works in the context of the interface of human
rights and intellectual
property rights. This research demonstrates that insufficient access to copyright protected material is discriminatory against the visually impaired and negatively affects their human
rights such as the right to education, information, health, employment, culture, and science. Moreover, the thesis analyses the international and domestic copyright law’s impact on the needs of the visually impaired. In analysing the international copyright law, the thesis evaluates the Marrakesh Treaty to Facilitate Access to Published Works by Visually Impaired Persons and Persons with Print Disabilities. Highlighting the insufficient consideration for the
rights of the visually impaired in domestic and international copyright laws including the Marrakesh Treaty, the thesis proposes adoption of a human
rights framework for copyright law to the extent that it affects the human
rights of the visually impaired. Such framework requires copyright law to accommodate those human
rights of the visually impaired that are dependent on access to copyright protected material. The thesis offers two categories of measures for creation of a human
rights framework for copyright to the extent that it affects the human
rights of the visually impaired. The measures include optimisation of already available options and adoption of new mechanisms. The first category discusses minimum mandatory copyright limitations and exceptions and the possibility to harmonise them. The second category covers extra measures such as clarifying the implications of different human
rights and copyrights in the context of the book famine; ensuring compatibility of human
rights and copyright when adopting policy and law; and, regular monitoring of the impact of copyright law on human
rights.

▼ This thesis argues that international copyright law should play a stronger role in the implementation of authors’ and users’ international human rights. In international human rights law, authors’ and users’ human rights are two sides of the same coin: both derive from human dignity and contribute to the development of the human personality. Authors have a set of moral and material interests that entitle them, as a minimum, to an adequate standard of living, to be (or not to be) associated with their intellectual works, and to object to any distortion or mutilation of those works. These entitlements receive a viable back up protection from authors’ human rights to freedom of expression and property. At the same time, users have human rights in culture, arts, and science that entitle them to access, use, and share intellectual works. Also, their human rights to freedom of expression and education reinforce these entitlements. Authors’ and users’ human rights are reciprocal, mutually-reinforcing, and mutually-limiting. Thus, their balanced implementation—by means of legislation or adjudication—depends on three rules: authors’ and users’ human rights are limited, they are not hierarchal, and they are interdependent on and indivisible from other human rights and freedoms.
On the other hand, despite its practicality and predominance, the exclusive-right system of international copyright law does not necessarily enable authors to achieve an adequate standard of living, and TRIPS has explicitly overlooked their moral interests. Similarly important, the nature and nurture of international copyright law do not give due weight to users’ human rights. International copyright law includes very few mandatory exceptions and limitations, which are supposed to address users’ rights by granting them some liberties or immunities when using intellectual works, but states’ ability to devise new exceptions and limitations is curtailed by the three-step test. Overall, international copyright law fails to meet the balance requirements of international human rights law since it creates a set of hierarchies between the rights it regulates, sometimes fails to recognize the limited nature of authors’ rights, and is inattentive of copyright’s impact on the whole corpus of international human rights.
The thesis suggests that international copyright law should become clearer— and more interested—in implementing the international human rights of authors and users of intellectual works. It can do so by incorporating as an objective the implementation of authors’ and users’ human rights in a balanced manner. This objective can function as a ground rule on which further measures necessary for the implementation of authors’ and users’ human rights may rely. In addition, it can provide normative support to some scholars’ proposals for reforming international copyright law.
The new objective of international copyright law may become part of the regime through amending TRIPS, interpreting its provisions by the WTO panels and Appellate Body, or…
