Abstract

This paper explores the relationship between the level of judicial protection of intellectual property rights and the propensity of publicly traded companies to engage in research and development (R&D) manipulation. The data utilized for this study span the years 2011–2020 to show that increasing the intensity of regional judicial protection of IPRs can `effectively reduce the likelihood of corporate R&D manipulation. It is also reduced by the level of judicial protection for intellectual property, primarily through the provision of incentives for high-quality innovations. These findings offer new insights into and principles for inhibiting corporate R&D expenditure manipulations.
