International Property Rights Index

The International Property Rights Index (IPRI) measures how well countries protect property rights, including patents, trademarks, and land rights. It assesses the legal and institutional environment that encourages innovation and investment by ensuring individuals and businesses can securely own and control their assets. A higher score indicates stronger property rights protections, which can lead to economic growth, innovation, and increased investment. Conversely, weaker protections can discourage entrepreneurship and reduce economic opportunities. The IPRI helps compare countries' legal frameworks related to property rights, providing insights into how these systems support economic development globally.
