Abstract

The systematic stealing of patents, copyright ownership and industrial secrets remain a complex and costly dilemma for corporate interests worldwide. Analyses the role which organizations in the Pacific Region have played, both in the cause and control of these abuses. Western manufacturers, artists and writers have charged that interests in Japan, Korea, Singapore and other nations have repeatedly copied software, musical compositions, patents and other intellectual products and that government punishment against perpetrators of these acts has been virtually non‐existent. Further, industrial spying remains a serious threat to the viability of numerous emerging companies lacking sophisticated preventive measures. These companies are vulnerable to legal manoeuvres which have effectively negated any attempt to protect one′s own creations. Concludes with the identification of typologies of these violations so that readers can implement strategic, preventive measures.
