Justifications of IPRs Protection
Kanya Hirunwattanapong, Faculty of Law, CMU, 2012
Natural Rights
It is ‘natural right’ of an inventor/creator to exclusively use or exploita consequence of his mental labour.It co-insides with John Locke’s philosophy (1632-1704). He argues that property is a natural right and it is derived from labour.
Innovation and Economic Incentives
The protection of intellectual property rights facilitates economic activity and encourages new researches (H.C. Anwalt; J.H. Barton).
