"... In PAGE 35: ... Insufficient institutional reforms may be due to concentrated corporate ownershipOne reason for limited institutional reforms may be the continued concentration of corporate control in the hands of a few families, and the strong political connections that these families have. In East Asian countries where control is most concentrated, the judicial system tends to be less efficient, the rule of law is weaker, and corruption seems more pervasive ( Table14 ). This implies that institutional reform may be more limited in East Asian countries where wealth is highly concentrated.... ..."

Our previous adaptation was simply to make a place for legal entities and legal occurrences (states and events), each having more concrete instantiations in Table1 . Introducing le- gal types and roles already gives special status to collective mental concepts which could be considered as embraced by sociological categories.... ..."

The regression results for these five equations can, therefore, be used to highlight some of the major features of the institutional inter-linkages evident within each of the three components of water institution. Water Law Performance: Relative Role of Legal Aspects Table1 presents the regression result for equation [1] that postulates water law performance as a function of some of the major water law aspects. Considering the R2 and F-value for the estimation, the model is reasonably sound in terms of its explanatory power.... ..."

A key objective of this project was to establish the methods of protection that smaller companies were adopting to protect their products and creations. Table1 below summarizes the methods of IP protection identified. The answers were in response to the two questions: What methods do you use to protect your intellectual property? and Are you aware that copyright is automatic and protects software and...

Technical systems refer to the use of encryption, dongles, steganographic techniques, key diskettes, firewalls and passwords.78 As was noted in Table1 , more than half of the respondents use these systems. Several respondents, however, despite their use, acknowledged that such systems are generally too user unfriendly, and too complicated, 79 and curiously, were adopted as an act of faith.... In PAGE 71: ... Further analysis of the data obtained from the survey, revealed that 83 per cent of the SMEs either had never attempted to acquire a patent for their software-related inventions, or seldom did so. The results presented below in Table1 0, reveal three of primary reasons underpinning this course of action. They are: 1.... In PAGE 76: ... Again, as with the SMEs, the PROs appeared to be aware of the advantages and disadvantages that copyright protection offer. The data provided below in Table1 2, show that the representatives from the PROs believed copyright law to be less complicated than patent law, and were of the opinion that copyright offered a sufficient level of IP protection. Significantly, the latter two were regarded as being the most advantageous aspects of copyright protection.... In PAGE 81: ... This arguably, could be seen as raising some doubt about the extent to which we are in a pro-patent era. In terms of keeping SMEs and other organizations abreast of new developments in European patent policy, the findings of our survey suggest that a greater effort needs to be extended in this direction (see Table1 5). Only one-quarter of the participant SMEs surveyed support the view that the European Commission has been successful in keeping SMEs aware of IPR-related developments.... In PAGE 84: ... When taken together, the findings presented above, in Table 14 and Table 15, serve to strengthen our belief that there is a need to increase awareness levels among SMEs and PROs about the issue of software patenting. Specifically, the relatively high numbers of no opinion responses to Statements 1 and 4 in Table1 4, suggests that much more could be done by the European Commission to improve upon effective measures for informing SMEs and PROs of new developments in European patent policy developments, as well as other IPR-related developments. This, combined with the high rate of disagree and no opinion responses to all the statements listed in Table 15, provides a clear signal that more widely publicized efforts on awareness raising could be undertaken....
