Intellectual property rights are essential for fostering innovation, but the concept extends beyond just the legal frameworks of patents, copyrights, and trademarks. It encompasses the institutions—courts, regulatory agencies, and collecting societies—that enforce these rules. This raises critical questions about the roles of both intellectual property rules and institutions in promoting creativity. Additionally, we must consider how external factors such as economics, culture, politics, and history influence innovation. Could these factors overshadow the effects of intellectual property regimes, making changes to these laws and institutions ineffective in driving innovation and economic growth? To explore these questions, experts from various countries in Asia have contributed studies detailing the current state of intellectual property regimes, from Cambodia to Japan. These studies delve into the historical origins of these laws, the realities of enforcement in the marketplace, and the broader political, economic, educational, and scientific infrastructures that support innovative activities. This comprehensive analysis aims to illuminate the complex interplay between intellectual property frameworks and the diverse factors that shape innovation in this dynamic region.
