IPR and Innovation, 2nd InnoFORUM workshop

Is there a link between innovation and intellectual property rights (IPR) ?
Yes there is !

..... what type of link? A strategic one !

In today's highly competitive markets, the importance of IPR in promoting innovation and economic performance is critical. Specifically, "IPR regimes affect the diffusion of scientific knowledge, the innovation process and, ultimately, economic performance" (OECD).

Last Friday, the 2nd InnoFORUM Open Workshop took place at Athens Information Technology, covering exactly this thematic area ("IPRs & Innovation"). The workshop covered both macro perspectives of IPR & Innovation (Session 1) as well as the linkage of specific IPR instruments such as Patents (Session 2), Trademarks & Industrial Designs (Session 3) and Copyrights in the digital era (Session 4) with innovation.

Further details about the event can be found at AIT's web site

....soon the event presentations will be uploaded online !

I will keep you posted :o)
