| Abstract | Representing up to 5 to 7 percent of world trade, counterfeiting has become a very serious
issue with huge economic implications. Economic impacts of intellectual property rights
infringement can be interestingly analyzed when adopting a double point of view: the
company whose products are being copied, and the country that hosts counterfeiters.
Measuring these impacts first requires to understand the notion of intangible assets, and to be
able to measure their value.
Being aware of the economic extent of product piracy, and having noticed some major
reasons that enable parallel networks to develop, we will focus on which strategies should be
implemented in order to cope efficiently with the issue. Our focus will be on two major
problems: the emergence of new technologies that make the existing Intellectual Property
Rights system inefficient and that boost product piracy; and the fact that we want to apply
"western" Intellectual Property laws to developing countries, which have different approaches
to the notion of prope1iy. |
