The International Property Rights Index (IPRI) is the flagship publication of the Property

Rights Alliance (PRA), committed to promoting property rights around the world.

The IPRI is an annual publication exclusively dedicated to promote property rights and expect-

ed to serve as an international index currently in its third year. The 2009 IPRI is a

comparative study which seeks to measure the significance of the protection of both private

and intellectual property rights on the economic well being of a country. The 2009 publication

covers 115 economies and ranks them according to the strengths and effectiveness of property rights.

The 2009 IPRI contains the IPRI ranking, ranking by index core components, regional distribution

of IPRI and the relationship between IPRI and economic well-being. A further chapter is dedicated

to IPRI and gender equality with written contribution from Clarissa Augustinus and Asa Jonsson

from the Land Tenure section of the UN HABITAT. Three case studies – Titling project in El

Salvador and Titling project in Thailand and The protection of geographical indications in India: The case

of Darjeeling Tea, provide insight into issues and developments in the area of both private and

intellectual property rights.

In its endeavors to present the IPRI, the Property Rights Alliance (PRA) has secured the support

of 55 think tanks and policy organizations in 46 countries involved in research, policy development,

education and the promotion of property rights in their respective countries. It is hoped that

the individual effort by these organizations to promote and protect property rights would be

brought to the international arena. PRA believes that the IPRI project serves as a platform to

join individual organizations in a collective effort to promote physical and intellectual property

rights through sound policies, a strong legal framework resulting in economic development.

The PRA presents the 2009 IPRI as a tool for policymakers, think tanks, academics, business leaders

and other individuals interested in promoting the protection of property rights and economic

development.
