This research aims to study the incentives countries have to adhere to regimes of international intellectual property and to change their domestic legislation. In order to do so, we use a quantitative methodology and build a database of 190 countries. The database lists the year that each country adhered to a variety of international intellectual property regimes and also contains variables with country characteristics such as GDP, share of industry on GDP etc. Thus, we will be able to test hypotheses based on the literature on the determinants of country adhesion to multilateral international agreements and/or treaties of intellectual property.
