Intellectual property rights in a knowledge-based economy

Intellectual property rights (IPR) have been created as economic mechanisms to facilitate ongoing innovation by granting inventors a temporary monopoly in return for disclosure of technical know-how. Since the beginning of 1980s, IPR have come under scrutiny as new technological paradigms appeared with the emergence of knowledge-based industries. Knowledge-based products are intangible, non-excludable and non-rivalrous goods. Consequently, it is difficult for their creators to control their dissemination and use. In particular, many information goods are based on network externalities and on the creation of market standards. At the same time, information technologies are generic in the sense of being useful in many places in the economy. Hence, policy makers often define current IPR regimes in the context of new technologies as both over- and under-protective. They are over-protective in the sense that they prevent the dissemination of information which has a very high social value; they are under-protective in the sense that they do not provide strong control over the appropriation of rents from their invention and thus may not provide strong incentives to innovate. During the 1980s, attempts to assess the role of IPR in the process of technological learning have found that even though firms in high-tech sectors do use patents as part of their strategy for intellectual property protection, the reliance of these sectors on patents as an information source for innovation is lower than in traditional industries. Intellectual property rights are based mainly on patents for technical inventions and on copyrights for artistic works. Patents are granted only if inventions display minimal levels of utility, novelty and non-obviousness of technical know-how. By contrast, copyrights protect only final works and their derivatives, but guarantee protection for longer periods, according to the Berne Convention. Licensing is a legal aid that allows the use of patented technology by other firms, in return for royalty fees paid to the inventor. Licensing can be contracted on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, but in most countries patented knowledge can be exclusively held by its inventors, as legal provisions for compulsory licensing of technologies do not exist. The fair use doctrine aims to prevent formation of perfect monopolies over technological fields and copyrighted artefacts as a result of IPR application. Hence, the use of patented and copyrighted works is permissible in academic research, education and the development of technologies that are complimentary to core technologies. Trade secrecy is meant to prevent inadvertent technology transfer to rival firms and is based on contracts between companies and employees. However, as trade secrets prohibit transfer of knowledge within industries, regulators have attempted to foster disclosure of technical know-how by institutional means of patents, copyrights and sui-generis laws. And indeed, following the provisions formed by IPR regulation, firms have shifted from methods of trade secrecy towards patenting strategies to achieve improved protection of intellectual property, as well as means to acquire competitive advantages in the market by monopolization of technological advances.economics of technology ;

Industry 4.0: Current Status and Future Trends

This chapter focuses on the vision of one of the biggest changes that will mark our way to live: Industries 4.0. Our intention is to discuss its basics, the automation and improvements on the processes, the way to transform an small and medium enterprises (SMEs) into an Industry 4.0, some of the economic and educational aspects, return of the investment, etc. This topic is very extensive; nevertheless, our purpose is to give a current vision of the industry and also show the Industry 4.0’s future trends. Furthermore, this chapter presents the process to migrate to Industry 4.0 until reaching to Society 5.0 and, in turn, includes a future version of Industry 5.0 that is expected to begin in 2020

Harnessing Openness to Improve Research, Teaching and Learning in Higher Education

Colleges and universities should embrace the concept of increased openness in the use and sharing of information to improve higher education. That is the core recommendation of this report. The report was produced by CED's Digital Connections Council (DCC), a group of information technology experts that advises CED's business leaders on cutting-edge technologies

The Impact of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 on Employment in Indonesia

This research was conducted to find out the impact of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 on employment in Indonesia. The method used in this study is a qualitative research method with data in the form of literature review and analyzed with content analysis. The results of this study indicate that the 4.0 industrial revolution has hit the world, including Indonesia. The basis of the 4.0 Indonesian Revolution lies in the progress in communication and connectivity compared to technology. The Industrial Revolution 4.0 was marked by the emergence of technological breakthroughs in a number of fields, including robotics, artificial intelligence, nano technology, quantum computing, biotechnology, the Internet of Thing (IoT), 3D printing, and autonomous vehicles. This revolution creates opportunities and of course saves the various challenges that must be faced. The industrial revolution has significantly affected labor aspects. The policies that can be taken by the government to improve labor capabilities are: First, harmonization of standardization and competency certification through cross-sectoral, cross-regional, and cross-country business partner cooperation, within the framework of market openness. Second, the development of partnership programs between the government and business / industry and between the central government and regional governments to improve the quality of the workforce. Third, improving governance in organizing training programs to accelerate worker certification. Fourth, expanding economies of scale towards sectors / sub-sectors with high productivity. The conclusions of this research: increasing the workforce and decreasing unemployment, as well as the increasing number of young people who succeed in digital business, shows that Indonesia has successfully exploited the opportunities of the Industrial Revolution 4.0. Keywords: Industrial Revolution 4.0, Technology, Labo
