As Russia has joined WTO very recently, this paper relies on four case studies of countries with transitional economies, which have already joined WTO, where influence of stronger IPR on FDI, R&D and IP filings are analyzed. The findings show that stronger IPR positively influenced FDI and IP filings in most of the cases. (Less)
