ABSTRACT
The standard literature on this subject generally relies on the thesis of the incentive to create
and/or disclose new ideas, traditionally linked to the solution of the public goods provision
problem. However, although this argument undoubtedly remains valid in the general case, in
several circumstances, it fails to satisfactorily take into account various consequences arising
from the dynamic effect of intellectual property rights on the market structure and from the
emergence of new social behaviors which significantly affect the consumption and the
production paradigm, such as the case of peer-to-peer systems or the Open Source movement.
The main conclusion that seems to emerge from this review is that the economic evaluation of
intellectual property based on a more suitable representation of facts and specific features of
inventive and creative contexts might reveal a totally different overall balance of welfare and
therefore lead to different regulatory and policy indications.
The problem of intellectual property protections has been seriously discussed since the first
launch of intellectual property negotiations within the framework of the General Agreement on
Tariffs and Trade (GATT). These discussions have particularly centered on negotiations with
regard to the Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) in the
eighth round of the GATT negotiations.
