IP & Trade Secret Risk Monitor

How safe is intellectual property and proprietary source code across ASEAN? This monitor scores each member state across four critical dimensions of IP governance—from trade secret protections and platform copyright safe harbors to patent enforcement and AI model training data extraction risks. Higher composite scores indicate stronger IP and source code safeguards.
ASEAN IP Average
42/ 100
11 Member States Evaluated
Core Concepts & Regulatory Dimensions
Trade Secret ProtectionLegal immunity against corporate espionage, state forced disclosures, and commercial misappropriation.
Copyright Safe HarborsStatutory intermediary liability shields for hosting services and content distribution networks.
Patent EnforcementExpedited examination pipelines, software patentability clarity, and judicial injunction efficacy.
AI Model & Code SafeguardsProtection against mandatory source code escrow, reverse-engineering, and training corpus confiscation.
Reading Guidance: Each country card displays a composite IP protection index (0–100) alongside 4 dimension ratings. Green scores (≥55) represent robust legal protection frameworks; Amber (35–54) highlight moderate protection with notable enforcement gaps; Red (<35) flag high risk of trade secret expropriation or absent copyright safe harbors.
