REVIEW OF THE PROBLEM OF WHITE COLLAR CRIMES INVOLVING INVENTIONS AND PATENTS IN POLAND, INCLUDING INCIDENCE, OFFENSE CHARACTERISTICS, PROSECUTION, AND CRIME EFFECTS.
Abstract
CRIMES INVOLVING INVENTIONS MAY BE DIVIDED INTO THREE GROUPS: VIOLATIONS OF INVENTORS' RIGHTS, OFFENSES AGAINST THE NATIONAL ECONOMY, AND BRIBERY. A STUDY BY THE POLISH INSTITUTE FOR CRIME PROBLEMS INDICATED THAT, WHILE THESE OFFENSES ARE NOT RARE, THEIR DEFECTION IS DIFFICULT, AND FEW OF THEM ARE PROSECUTED. OF GREATEST CONCERN IS THE LOSS TO THE POLISH ECONOMY WHEN INVENTIONS ARE UNABLE TO MAKE THEIR MAXIMUM CONTRIBUTION. --IN POLISH. SUMMARIES IN ENGLISH AND RUSSIAN...TL
