A Comparative Look at the Gaming Software Industry

The growing importance of intellectual property rights affects many industries. The questions raised by strengthening rights, and the increase in enforcement actions this brings, are not restricted to any industry in particular. But the questions seem especially acute in some industries--those in which the policies sought to be furthered by strengthening rights are most in doubt. For a variety of reasons, the software industry is one of these.

There is one well-known reason why intellectual property policy affects the software industry so much: because of the nature of software, firms cannot appropriate much of the benefit of product innovation without some form of legal protection. Even with relatively strong legal protection, outright piracy still skims off several billion dollars in revenues in the United States alone. But there is another reason why those concerned with the development of the software industry must worry about current intellectual property trends. Intellectual property may exert a subtle but important influence on entry into the industry and industry structure. If so, then to the extent that entry and industry structure affect the pace of innovation, intellectual property may in fact play a significant role in de- termining whether the industry will remain as vital and innovative as it has been so far.

In addition, because software, like most goods, emanates from firms located in many nations, national intellectual property policy toward this industry will affect its success vis-а-vis its international rivals.

I begin with a brief description of what is known about the software industry, including the nature of the three major software markets, the United States, Europe, and Japan. Next I consider how past and current intellectual property rules what I call "intellectual property policy"-- may have played a role in the formation of indus- tries with distinctive characteristics in each of the three major markets.
