Based on the Programme of Prime Minister Marin's Government, a national intellectual property rights strategy (IPR Strategy) has been formulated to develop competences and administration related to intellectual property and to introduce measures to improve the current situation.
To support the preparation of the strategy, the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment appointed a steering group representing interest groups and a project group consisting of public officials in spring 2020. The proposal was completed in May 2021 and it was subsequently sent out for public consultation. Based on the proposal and the feedback received during the consultation round, public officials prepared a draft that was circulated for comments during 10 December 2021–21 January 2022.
The strategy's vision is that in 2030, Finland will have an effective IPR operating environment that supports innovation and creative work, which will increase economic wellbeing and competitiveness by taking into account the realisation of fundamental rights and different social interests in a diverse way.
Sub-objectives supporting the achievement of the vision are: Finnish actors have strong IPR expertise, world-class innovations are created and commercialised in Finland, intellectual property is an integral part of political decision-making, Finland has a functioning and competitive IPR system, and Finland promotes the development of the IPR system and regulation in the EU and internationally.
To achieve these objectives, 15 measures have been selected to be carried out in 2022–2030.
