| Abstract: | International
circumstances, Iran’s
special context and its legal system have often been blamed for the relative
lack of attention on the part of Iranian scientists towards Intellectual
Property Rights (IPR). In spite of these odds, however, the Iran Nanotechnology
Initiative Council (INIC) launched a programme to overcome existing shortcomings
and encourage nanotechnology researchers to protect their inventions in the
country and particularly, overseas. The efficiency and effectiveness of this
programme are analysed in this paper. In a country without a national IP
policy, successful implementation of this programme could pave the way for
extending the same mechanism to other technological fields, although it is
unlikely that the deficiencies of Iran's national innovation system
could be completely resolved by such sectoral policies. |
