| Intellectual Property (IP) has emerged as a
driving force for building and sustaining competitive advantage in
the contemporary knowledge economy. In an increasingly broad range
of areas, ranging from the Internet to health care to nearly all aspects
of science & technology, literature and the arts Intellectual
Property (IP) plays an important role in many vital policy issues
and understanding the role of Intellectual Property in theses areas
many of them still emerging often requires significant new research
and study. Policy advisors and decision makers regard IP as a means
for promoting creativity and innovation and economic development.
Business houses view Intellectual Property (IP) as a valuable corporate
assets and a strategic business tool. From the recent research and
survey it was reveled that over 50% of the value of many business
houses is attributed to Intellectual Property (IP). In knowledge
and information age possession of land, labour and capital are not
just enough for a country to succeed. And in this knowledge age
creativity and innovation are the new drivers of the world economy.
Within knowledge-based, innovation driven economies, the Intellectual
Property system is a dynamic tool for wealth creation providing
an incentive for business houses and individuals to create and innovate;
a fertile background for the development of, and trade in, intellectual
assets; and a stable environment for domestic and foreign investment.
