DESCRIPTION:The symposium theme will cover the standing paradigm that certain countries/regions tend to produce intellectual property (Japan\, US\, Europe)\, while others are primarily users of that IP (The rest of Asia\, Central & South America\, etc.). In such a world\, each group's incentives are fairly clear. Producers favor strong IPprotection\, arguing that this generates the economic incentives to invest in developing new technologies. While consuming nations see strong enforcement as burdensome\, the consensus is that their economic development will be spurred by improving IP enforcement. The applicability of this paradigm is now in doubt\, however.
