Abstract
Notwithstanding there is no exact information about the direct liaison between Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) and international trade and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), however it may be said that most of the enhancements in Intellectual Property (IP) sphere were proposed by developed countries because of challenges relating to their commercial interests. In addressing this matter, this chapter will try to answer several questions on the ground that to what extent IPRs play an important role in enlargement of trade relations and in the decision-making process concerning where to invest, and respectively trends in order of a favorable climate expected by global business community. Further, it will be underlined in a depth manner that which investors need a strong IP regime, since some economic areas do, in fact, not stipulate a strong IP regime in the operation process. In addition, granting foreign patenting and licensing (mainly compulsory) and their legal grounds will be among discussed subjects by emphasizing their perspectives from technology and knowledge diffusion viewpoint.
