Many people do not realize the importance of Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) in everyday life. In reality these rights have a profound influence on us, since they determine which innovations become available on the market. Based on the example of the digital world we will discuss how IPRs make exciting new products possible that enhance our daily life. On the one hand IPRs make co-operations between companies possible in the setting of standards and in what is called ‘open innovation’, thus creating a market and the technological basis for new products. On the other hand IPRs also allow companies to distinguish themselves from their competitors, so that in the competitive markets of these new products they can create value from their innovations. Thus we can distinguish different flavors of IPR depending on their use. Companies need to know when to use these different flavors to make the most of their innovations and to be successful in the market with new products.
