Although ideological currents of a second-tier patent (STP) regime are sweeping through the South Asian region in recent years, the concept of utility model or petty patent remains a largely unexplored option in Sri Lanka and in other parts of the South Asian region. Against this backdrop, this book offers an alternative approach to incentivise minor and incremental innovations of SMEs. It also explores whether Sri Lanka and other developing economies in the South Asian region can benefit from such an STP regime if it is tailored to the specific characteristics of the innovation landscape of the country. 000041669 542__ $$fCC-BY 000041669 650__ $$aInvention and innovation$$xSri Lanka 000041669 650__ $$aSMEs 000041669 650__ $$aTK-based innovation 000041669 650__ $$aPatent protection$$xSri Lanka 000041669 650__ $$aDesign protection$$xSri Lanka 000041669 85641 $$uhttps://www.doabooks.org/doab?func=search&query=rid%3A29452$$yView this Ebook 000041669 902__ $$a41669_en 000041669 903__ $$aMunich Intellectual Property Law Center - MIPLC 000041669 904__ $$aBook 000041669 980__ $$aBIB
