ABSTRACT

This paper examines the important role that intellectual property ("IP") plays in driving innovation and interoperability in the IT industry, and recommends how governments can best promote these objectives, in particular by: (1) protecting IP; (2) avoiding technology mandates which stifle innovation and stunt economic growth and (3) promoting choice and technological neutrality in their procurement decisions and regulations.
