Why it matters

This report provides quantitative analyses of intellectual property frameworks in more than 50 countries by scoring nine categories of IP protection: patents, copyrights, trademarks, design rights, trade secrets, commercialization of IP assets, enforcement, systemic effciency, and membership and ratification of international treaties.

It also provides qualitative analysis of the IP situations in these countries, including narratives about IP strengths, weaknesses, risks and efficiencies, membership or ratification status for international IP-related treaties, and trends for each country over time.
