IP in general
Analysing the Impact of IP Technical Assistance
This study aims to assess to what extent developed country technical assistance programmes are likely to have interacted with, and potentially contributed to the promotion of country-appropriate sustainable changes in intellectual property strategies and technological capacities over the period 2005-10. It does this primarily on the basis of Intellectual property technical assistance impact assessments of four emerging and transition economies; namely Brazil, India, Poland and Thailand and an overview of intellectual property technical assistance in Least Developed Countries (LDCs).

The Flow of Knowledge from the Academic Research Base into the Economy: the Use and Effectiveness of Formal IPRs and "Soft IP" in UK Universities
This report focusses on the use of formal intellectual property rights (IPRs) and “soft IP” as the new ideas and creative expressions developed by academic researchers are put into use. It carries out a theoretical and empirical investigation of the analytical framework developed by SABIP on the flows of knowledge between the universities’ research base and commercial and social use, and proposes new ways to articulate this framework more fully.

The Role of Intellectual Property Rights in the UK Market Sector
This report estimates
(a) the level of UK market sector investment in knowledge assets protected by Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) and
(b) the impact of investment in those assets via their contribution to labour productivity growth in the UK market sector. Estimates for investment and the stock of IPR capital are based on previous work and includes new estimates for investment in artistic originals, funded by the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) and featured in the accompanying report.
We also comment on additional spending on IP-protected goods that do not represent investments, although the coverage of this category is far from complete. Our main findings are:
1) On average, between 2000 and 2008, 48% of knowledge investment in the UK market sector was protected by IPRs
2) The majority of IPR investment is on assets protected by copyright and design rights
3) In 2008 approximately 62% of the stock of knowledge assets in the UK market sector was protected by IPRs
4) On average, between 1990 and 2008, 10.6% of growth in labour productivity was due to growth in capital deepening of IPR-protected assets. Comparable figures for ICT equipment and knowledge capital not protected by IPRs are 11.1% and 10.3% respectively.
