Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to provide a critical understanding as to how and why cultural factors affect people’s attitudes towards IPP. Four topics are discussed and supported by case examples, using the US and China as comparators. First, the chapter examines how different levels of education can impact on people’s understanding of IP and how IP training can change people’s attitudes towards IPP. Second, the ways in which religious principles can directly and indirectly affect IP attitudes are examined. Third, the effects of different social classes on positive or negative attitudes towards IP are considered. Finally, the impact of language as a cultural element affecting IP understanding is discussed.
