| Abstract: | The marketing of artisanal products on the global market has long contributed to the generation of wealth and economic development of nations. This positive trend has quickly removed barriers to entry into the international artisan market, thanks to the emergence of new management practices that have enabled businesses to develop sustainable and defensible competitive advantages. However, this global artisanal landscape has disadvantaged the positioning of artisanal products from developing countries. Indeed, the International Symposium on Global Handicrafts held in Manila in 1997 revealed the urgent need to protect handicraft products through a codification system and elements of intellectual property (Document CLT/CONF/604/5). Nevertheless, Algerian artisans have long overlooked the need to valorize their creativity in the market through intellectual property assets such as trademarks, brands, appellations of origin, geographical indications, and more. Our work will now focus on the intellectual property of artisanal innovations, its interplay with export marketing elements, and the differentiation strategies for traditional craft products to ensure better marketing on both local and international markets. |

| Abstract: | Recent U.S.-China tensions have raised the specter of technological decoupling. This paper examines the impact of U.S. export restrictions and technology licensing on Chinese firms’ innovation. It finds that U.S. sanctions reduce the quantity and quality of patent outputs of targeted Chinese firms, primarily due to decreased collaboration with U.S. inventors. However, firms with higher initial patent stock or in sectors with a smaller technological distance to the U.S. are less affected. Sanctions in specific technology fields lead to a decline in the patent output of both Chinese firms with U.S. collaborators and U.S. firms with Chinese collaborators. |

| Abstract: | Escaping the middle-income trap requires a country to develop indigenous technological capabilities for high value-added innovation. This study examines the role of second-tier patent systems, known as utility models (UMs), in promoting such capability acquisition in less developed countries. UMs are designed to incentivize incremental and adaptive innovation through lower novelty standards than patents, but their long-term impact on the capability acquisition process remains underexplored. Using South Korea as a case study and drawing on the characteristics of technological regimes in catching-up economies, we present three key findings: First, the country's post-catch-up frontier technologies (US patents) are more impactful (highly cited) when they build on Korean domestic UMs. This suggests that UM-based imitative and adaptive learning laid the foundation for the country's globally competitive capabilities. Second, the impact of UM-based learning diminishes as the country's economy develops. Third, frontier technologies rooted in UMs contribute more to the country's own specialization than to follow-on innovations by foreign actors, compared to technologies without UM linkages. We discuss how technological regimes and industrial policies in catching-up economies interact with the UM system to bridge the catching-up (imitation- and adaptation-based) and postcatching-up (specialization- and creativity-based) phases. |
