Utilitarian theory Sample Clauses

Utilitarian theory. Utilitarian theory assumes that the objective of society should be the attainment of the greatest good for the greatest number of people.26 This is the principle employed by many economists where the outcome of any policy is evaluated in terms of its overall impact on the wealth of society taking into account any externalities that may pertain. This theory is not prescriptive with respect to desirability of IP but rather it calls for empirical evaluation of costs and benefits arising from particular forms of IP.27 “In particular, the benefits of stimulating innovation, creativity and reputation building must be weighed against the costs of patent races, monopolistic pricing and innovation suppression.”28
