Welcome to IP Blog. This blog is a project
of the Institute for Policy Innovation (IPI), though contributors will
include selected individuals with other associations as well.
The purpose of the blog is to cover developments in intellectual property protection from a property-rights, pro-market orientation. It is our belief that strong intellectual property protection is a foundational condition for a growing economy, particularly in the Information Age. It is also our observation that intellectual property protection is today under seige as never before. Hopefully, this blog will be a valued resource, making arguments in favor of intellectual property protection, and drawing attention to important work being done in this area.
It is perhaps appropriate that we begin this blog with the meetings of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) on the "development agenda" during April 11-13, 2005.
