Our analysis emphasises the strong sectoral differences in the use of IP protection mechanisms, and for the most IP-intensive sectors, suggests a positive association between IP protection use and growth and productivity. We find strong causal registered design-to-innovation relationships but weaker patent-to-innovation and trade mark-to-innovation relationships.
