Intellectual Property rights and competitiveness: evidence from Poland
by Marzenna Anna Weresa
International Journal of Foresight and Innovation Policy (IJFIP), Vol. 6, No. 4, 2010

Abstract: This paper offers in-depth analysis of patenting activity in Poland, showing Poland's strengths and weaknesses in the field of technology. To combine local and global perspective with regard to Poland's competitiveness, two patent-based indicators are analysed: the Revealed Technological Comparative Advantage (RTCA) index and the Patent Share (PS) index. This analysis shows that both local and global dimensions of IP protection are not well developed yet in Poland, however, since 2004 there have been some emerging domains of technology, where Polish inventors have been gaining relative strengths.
