The article discuses the increasing significance of protecting intellectual property rights in the knowledge based economy. The most common approach to this problem which can be seen in the public debate stresses the role of technological competition between market players and says that reforms of intellectual property protection system should facilitate process of obtaining patent protection for bigger amount of innovations of all kinds for longer time. This should encourage all companies to invest in research and development, which will improve innovation capability of the whole economy. The article shows that realization of this common belief can lead to some counterproductive results, which can especially be important in case of knowledge based economy sectors. On the other hand, the article argues that the discussion on intellectual property protection should not only concentrate on the technological competition process, but it should also take into consideration an influence of the reform on the technological cooperation process. This is especially important in case of creating an institutional background for cooperation between so called general purpose technology sectors and application technology sectors, which can be the core of innovation process in the knowledge based economy.

The article investigates a problem of the euro introduction by new members of the European Union. It presents some potential benefits and costs of entry to European Monetary Union in the context of its present and future functioning. Then it discusses some advantages and disadvantages of postponing joining the euro-zone. Besides, potential meaning and consequences of giving a target date of introduction of the euro by a country and possible scenarios that can be taken at this way are presented in the paper. Since the 1st January 2007 Euroland comprises 13 countries. The finance ministers of EU member states have approved of Slovenia's admission to the euro area. The application of Lithuania was rejected - European Commission and European Central Bank have judged that it has not fulfilled the inflation convergence criterion. With regard to this event, the article touches an issue of the need for reconsidering the Maastricht criteria which presently seem to be a source of many content-related and interpretation doubts. It also investigates the requirement for adjusting the convergence criteria to the fact that the euro-zone has already been in existence.
