In the context of the performance requirements implied by the development of a knowledge based economy, we look at industrial property as an important tool thereof. Consequently, the present study presents (in a comparative manner) the system of industrial property rights and their protection in the European Union, the United States of America and Romania. In addition, we analyse aspects of institutional, regulatory and functional convergence/divergence in the field of industrial property rights. The approach used is made correlatively and it targets the interdependence between the industrial property area and the research, development and innovation one.
