Summary

In this chapter we attempt to survey three different approaches in order to answer the following questions: Which is the best GI governance model for achieving the public policy objectives of GI protection? Specifically, would this model be based primarily on state-driven action or on actions by the private sector? Or would the most suitable model be a system in which the state and the private sector share responsibility for the various stages of GI governance, including through public-private partnerships? Ultimately, we conclude that a system in which the state or the private sector has exclusive, or majoritarian, control may not be the optimal system for GI governance. Instead, coordination between both the state and private stakeholders work is a requirement—but not necessarily to the same degree, or even at the same time, given that national circumstances and needs may require different approaches.
