• TRIPS provided “stick” by foreclosing growth thru simple imitation in developing country weak patent markets, providing imperative to seek new opportunities• trade/FDI reform and devaluation in early 90s reinforced attractiveness of process innovation “carrot”: relaxed regulatory hurdles of US generics market (& bulk drugs), from Hatch-Waxman Act of 1984• future: from “upgrading of manufacturing & process R&D capabilities” to “more substantive product development”?(see Ashish Arora et al., “Strong Medicine? Patent Reform and the Transformation of the Indian Pharmaceutical Industry”, mimeo, July 2008)

• India: Prowess database maintained by CMIE (Dutta and Sharma, 09)• Sri Lanka: SL Longitudinal Survey of Enterprises (de Mel et al., 09)• WB Enterprise Surveys: approx 60 countries with R&D data (Sharma, 07)
Set up collaborative web site and link in-country researchers across a few initial target countries, together with policy implementers not just from Patent and Trademark Offices but Ministries of Economy, Industry, S&T, etc.
Partner with 2-3 ongoing SME-focused projects to sharpen project evaluation and continuous improvement, and add/strengthen IP-SME dimension of projects (& complements)
