Abstract
This study investigates the factors that influence the likelihood of a company
infringing on intellectual property rights, and what are the policies that the Government can
use to enhance its IP (intellectual property) strategy
The qualitative model used in the analysis is the logit regression model where the
dependent variable is the logarithm of the odds of IP infringement.
The results show the probability of intellectual property infringement depends on the
size of the company ( number of employee and sales), the country of origin of the company,
the nature of the company‟s business or field of works and whether the company provides IP
education and training, whether the company has IP awareness, and whether the company
has R&D or some sort of technology alliance.
While the nature of business and the company size are inherent to an individual
company, IP awareness & education, R&D and technology alliance can be
enhanced through government‟s efforts and incentives. In addition, the IP organization‟s
active promotion and assistance to the business companies and the community also helps to
reduce IP infringement.
