This consultation held in Singapore brought together experts and policy makers from Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia, The Philippines, Singapore and Viet Nam. It provided an opportunity to exchange policy experiences, identify different challenges faced by countries in the region and best practice examples adopted to strengthen the contributions of the national intellectual property system to innovation. Moreover, an overview of the OECD’s engagement with the region and its projects aimed at supporting innovation policy design was given.

Background
 

This project aims to support countries in strengthening the contributions their national intellectual property (IP) systems can make to their socio-economic development, notably through their impacts on innovation performance.

IP rights are important for building innovation capacities as they can provide incentives to invent and serve innovation by a number of indirect mechanisms: facilitating access to knowledge and inventions, facilitating international competitiveness and trade, enhancing opportunities for access to finance, etc.

Country studies, which are based on a detailed assessment of national IP systems, provide concrete policy recommendations. In order to do those assessments the project developed framework that identifies the critical factors of IP systems to support emerging countries’ innovation and development objectives.

Country studies of Colombia and Indonesia were published along with a detailed presentation of the framework in an OECD publication released in January 2014. A country study of Malaysia is currently being conducted as part of the current focus on IP in Southeast Asia.
