Non‑fungible tokens:a bubble or the end of an era of intellectual property rights

The viability of exponentially growing non-fungible token(NFT)market is evaluated by identifying potential value-generating mechanisms that can be rationalized.After identifying the value-generating mechanisms underlying the positive values of NFTs,this study establishes a pricing model for NFTs that follows a continuous-time financial framework.As NFTs are claimed to securitize“ownership rights short of use”,and as such they may potentially serve as a substitute for the need to rely replace the reliance on the legal protection provided by intellectual property rights(IPRs).Considering this issue,this study evaluates the likelihood that NFTs will replace existing mechanisms that protect producers’rightful claim to use their assets or the need to apply the legal code that governs IPRs.The financial condition for this potential shift is derived for a category of assets whose use or consumption does not reduce supply as the notion of scarcity does not apply.

The Conflict and Balance Between Intellectual Property Rights and Public Freedom of Information in the“Anti-circumvention Clause”

There is a long-standing conflict between intellectual property rights and public freedom of information.The continuous development of the“anti-circumvention clause”has caused the conflict to intensify.As a basic human right,freedom of information is being gradually eroded by the expansion of intellectual property rights.The existing research mainly carries on the right balance from the negative protection path,but the positive protection path is more advantageous to realizing the public freedom of information and alleviates the conflict between the two kinds of rights.In practice,there are some problems in the application of the anti-circumvention clause,such as the legality of the aim,the division of the protected part,and the determination of the circumvention.This is mainly due to the lack of restrictions on technical measures,the failure to distinguish between“copyright protection”and“contact control”,and the offside and absence of administrative bodies in practice.We should protect public freedom of information by distinguishing the two measures of copyright protection and contact control and the two torts of access and use,increasing the restrictive conditions for the use of technical protection measures,and changing the functions of administrative supervision agencies.

知识产权保护如何影响OFDI的绿色创新效率

本文基于修改的内生增长模型,阐述了知识产权保护与OFDI逆向技术溢出的非线性关系。首先选取2003—2018年我国30个省份的面板数据,并借助三阶段SBM-DEA方法测算了绿色创新效率;在检验到绿色创新效率的空间自相关性以及知识产权保护的门槛效应后,构建了动态空间面板模型,实证研究了OFDI逆向技术溢出对绿色创新效率影响的门槛效应。回归结果表明,当知识产权保护处在较低水平时,OFDI逆向技术溢出对绿色创新效率的影响为负;只有当知识产权保护水平跨过门槛值后,OFDI逆向技术溢出对绿色创新效率的促进作用才明显。在异质性分析中发现,随着知识产权保护水平的提高,OFDI逆向技术溢出对绿色创新效率影响的单一门槛效应在国别、行业、地区数据分析中也得到验证。
