Science-industry Links and IPR Mechanisms: evidence for 4 Latin American Countries

This paper presents evidence on the utilization of intellectual property rights (IPR) in Latin American countries, with a focus on Brazil. It examines the different IPR mechanisms used in various sectors and discusses the implications for development. The study also explores the factors that shape the rate and direction of innovative and imitative search in these countries, including technological capabilities, production capacities, sectoral specificities, and path-dependent trajectories. Additionally, it discusses the role of IP rights in shaping innovative conducts and highlights the asymmetry in countries' scientific, technological, and production capacities. Lastly, the paper explores participation and exclusion in contemporary markets for knowledge.

  9. A taxonomy of contemporary markets for knowledge

  10. Implications for development (1) Different factors shape the rate and direction of innovative and imitative search • technological capabilities of agents • production capacities, which concern the stocks of resources, the nature of capital‑embodied technologies, labor skills, product and input specification and the organizational routines • the sectoral specificities of the technology in question • path-depended trajectories of firms (or countries), which shape the collective knowledge shared by agents in each socio-economic system and that define the entourage where firms (or countries) are likely to move in their search for innovation • the (non-rational) perception of innovative opportunities, irrespectively of whether relative prices change or not, which might lead to the discovery of intended and unintended new techniques. Legal appropriability mechanisms, i.e. prevailing intellectual property norms, classify as second order effect factors in shaping innovative and imitative conducts in countries that still have to catch up in terms of production capacities and technological capabilities embodied in socio-institutional systems.

  11. Implications for development (2) • Behavioral microfoundations of innovative conducts and the role of IP rights • Asymmetry in countries’ scientific, technological and production capacities • Participation and exclusion in contemporary markets for knowledge
