Newbie thoughts:

"IPR is important for investment for SMEs (true!) "

Do we have a reliable source for the measurements made to support the connection between will to invest and IPR in the SME market? Is there a common model used for forecasts?

The title of the report "Maximizing the Contribution of IP Rights (IPRs) to SME Growth and Competitiveness" seems to indicate that it isn't the outspoken interest to maximize the SME growth and competitiveness but rather to maximize the dependency to IPR. Can we list reports which suggest the best strategy for actually maximizing the growth and competitiveness regardless of IPR? The references include reports like Dunford, R. (1987) ‘The suppression of technology as a strategy for controlling resource dependence’, Administrative Science Quarterly, 32, pp.512-25. Is that really what it seems to be? A theory to maintain political control by supressing technology advancements?
