About this Interview

Ruud Peters on the Global Race for IP Leadership

China has moved from manufacturing hub to technology powerhouse. Could India be next, and where does that leave Europe? 

Ruud Peters offers a direct assessment of the shifting global innovation and IP landscape. 

Why was China’s rise predictable? Can India follow the same path? Why does Ruud believe Europe is “not competitive enough”? And does the EU need a more coherent IP strategy to respond? 

The conversation also challenges the IP community itself: are existing structures helping innovation move faster, or are we sometimes too focused on preserving systems built for the past? 

Follow a thought-provoking discussion for anyone interested in IP, innovation policy and the global competition for technology leadership.
