Abstract

Der Begriff des Gebrauchsmusters ist in Sri Lanka und in anderen Teilen Südasiens eine noch weitgehend unerforschte Option, um einen Anreiz für Innovationen von KMU zu schaffen.

Der Autor untersucht, ob diese Länder von einer Second-Tier-Patent (STP) Regelung, die auf die spezifischen Merkmale der Innovationslandschaft des Landes zugeschnitten ist, profitieren könnten.

Zusammenfassung

Der Begriff des Gebrauchsmusters ist in Sri Lanka und in anderen Teilen Südasiens eine noch weitgehend unerforschte Option, um einen Anreiz für Innovationen von KMU zu schaffen.

Der Autor untersucht, ob diese Länder von einer Second-Tier-Patent (STP) Regelung, die auf die spezifischen Merkmale der Innovationslandschaft des Landes zugeschnitten ist, profitieren könnten.
