This project addresses the role of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) protection for international trade, innovation, and technology and knowledge diffusion in the context of Canada-UK relationships after Brexit.First, we describe recent developments in the area of IPR in newly-signed mega-regional trade deals: the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement (CETA) and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CP-TPP). We discuss the deals' consequences for the national growth agenda emphasising the differential impact of the IPR clauses on different industries and occupation groups in the Canada-UK context. Also, we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of adopting CETA or CP-TPP IPR protection solutions for the Canada-UK post Brexit relationship.Second, we address the challenges and prospects brought about by the production fragmentation, digital transformation and the rise of the new business models for both trade and intellectual property flows in the context of Canada-UK partnership. Drawing on international literature, we discuss the role of IPR protection for growth, innovation and knowledge diffusion. We also address the consequences of global value chains (GVCs) trade for knowledge and technology diffusion based on Canadian and British evidence.Our synthesis will serve as a necessary first step towards sound evidence-based policy recommendations in knowledge transfer and IPR protection. We will provide the policymakers with a new tool, in the form of an overview of trade-related consequences of different IPR provisions, in context of the Canada-UK partnership. A detailed discussion of impact of IPR provisions across different sectors and occupations, including the role of global value chains and new business models, would facilitate identification and subsequent negotiations of the best scenarios for the future bilateral relationship between Canada and the UK. In parallel, we aim to identify areas that would benefit from more detailed scientific research.

本项目旨在探讨英国脱欧后，知识产权保护在国际贸易、创新、技术和知识扩散中的作用。首先，我们描述了知识产权领域在新签署的大型区域贸易协定中的最新发展：加拿大-欧盟全面经济贸易协定（CETA）和全面和进步跨太平洋伙伴关系协定（CP-TPP）。我们讨论了这些协议对国家增长议程的影响，强调了知识产权条款对加拿大-英国背景下不同行业和职业群体的不同影响。此外，我们还讨论了英国脱欧后采用CETA或CP-TPP知识产权保护解决方案的利弊。其次，我们讨论了在加拿大-英国伙伴关系背景下，生产碎片化、数字化转型以及新商业模式的兴起给贸易和知识产权流动带来的挑战和前景。借鉴国际文献，我们讨论了知识产权保护对增长，创新和知识传播的作用。我们还讨论了全球价值链（GVC）贸易对知识和技术扩散的影响，并以加拿大和英国的证据为基础。我们的综合研究将成为在知识转移和知识产权保护方面提出基于证据的合理政策建议的必要的第一步。我们将为政策制定者提供一个新的工具，在加拿大-英国伙伴关系的背景下，概述不同知识产权规定的贸易相关后果。详细讨论知识产权条款对不同行业和职业的影响，包括全球价值链和新商业模式的作用，将有助于确定加拿大和英国未来双边关系的最佳方案，并随后进行谈判。与此同时，我们的目标是确定将受益于更详细的科学研究的领域。
