Abstract

As the economy in many emerging countries is on the rise, innovative enterprises are confronted with technology know-how theft and product imitations from those countries. Especially SMEs are facing problems in enforcing their legal and also legitimate claims on their intellectual property and know-how. In addition, technology firms are under pressure due to fierce competition with competitors in technological eye height. As intellectual property rights seem to become a blunt sword, a bigger picture on know-how-based competitive advantages in technology-driven firms is needed. To answer this challenge, a holistic approach to technology know-how protection is recommended.
