This report analyses the scope and potential to deploy intellectual property rights (IPRs) to help drive these necessary structural transformations. It examines the economic rationale for strategic IP protection and practical ways these countries can unlock IP-related benefits. Harnessing Intellectual Property Rights for Innovation, Development and Economic Transformation in Least Developed Countries provides valuable insights, policy perspectives and practical recommendations on how these countries can use IPRs strategically to accelerate innovation, inclusive growth and structural transformation. 000049058 650_4 $$aTraditional knowledge 000049058 650_0 $$aIntellectual property. 000049058 650_0 $$aInternational law. 000049058 650_0 $$aPatents. 000049058 650_0 $$aCopyright. 000049058 650_0 $$aUtility models. 000049058 650_0 $$aTrademarks. 000049058 650_0 $$aGeographical indications. 000049058 650_0 $$aIndustrial designs. 000049058 650_0 $$aGenetic resources. 000049058 650_0 $$aCultural expressions. 000049058 650_0 $$aInnovation. 000049058 650_0 $$aEconomic policy. 000049058 7001_ $$aBorgatti, Lisa,$$eauthor. 000049058 7001_ $$aBalchin, Neil,$$eauthor. 000049058 7102_ $$aUnited Nations Conference on Trade and Development 000049058 85641 $$uhttps://unctad.org/system/files/official-document/comsec2024d1_en.pdf$$yView eBook 000049058 904__ $$aBook 000049058 980__ $$aBIB
