The WIPR 2017 shows for the first time that nearly one third of the value of manufactured products sold around the world comes from “intangible capital,” such as branding, design and technology. This amount, some USD 5.9 trillion in 2014, shows that intangible capital contributes twice as much as buildings, machinery and other forms of tangible capital to the total value of manufactured goods. This underscores the growing role of intellectual property, which is frequently used to protect intangible and related assets in the worldwide economy.
