The survey which provides the basis for Taylor Wessing's second Global Intellectual Property Index has now commenced. This index presents a comprehensive statistical comparison of IP protection and enforcement in 22 significant jurisdictions, rating each jurisdiction for protecting and enforcing patents, trade marks and copyrights.
This year's survey has been expanded to cover three additional jurisdictions (the EU as a whole, Ireland and Turkey) and two further IP rights (design protection and domain names). There's also a specific question on the perceived cost-effectiveness of enforcing IP rights in the various jurisdictions, given the current state of the economy and the recent focus on litigation costs.

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.
It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
