英文文献摘要:
This paper examines how Africa’s share in the contribution to global scientific knowledge can be boosted with existing Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) mechanisms. The findings which broadly indicate that tight IPRs are correlated with knowledge contribution can be summarized in two main points. First, the enshrinement of IPRs laws in a country’s Constitution is a good condition for knowledge economy. Secondly, while Main IP laws, WIPO treaties and Bilateral treaties are positively correlated with scientific publications, the IPRs law channel have a negative correlation. Whereas the study remains expositional, it does however offer interesting insights into the need for IPRs in the promotion of knowledge contribution within sampled countries of the continent. Other policy implications are discussed.
这篇论文探讨了如何利用现有的知识产权(IPRs)机制来提高非洲在全球科学知识贡献中的份额。研究结果大致表明,紧密的知识产权与知识贡献之间存在关联,研究结果可以概括为两点。首先,将知识产权法律写入宪法是实现知识经济的良好条件。其次,主要知识产权法律、WIPO条约和双边条约与科学出版物呈正相关,而知识产权法律渠道与科学出版物呈负相关。尽管这项研究仍然是临时性的,但它确实提供了关于知识产权在促进该大陆抽样国家的知识贡献方面的必要性的有趣见解。文中还讨论了其他政策影响。
