Reporting the Qualitative Content Analysis Results of the Study on the Competition Law and IP in Bangladesh

Authors conducted the Key Informant Interviews (KII) among the experts having knowledge regarding the competition law, intellectual property rights (IPR) and the functioning of the Competition Commission of Bangladesh. Qualitative Content Analysis (QCA) was performed by both the researchers to analyse the responses. Respondents having direct experiences of working with the Commission and/or the law made interesting revelations. The data analysis (qualitative) results from the KII were subject to 3 (three) separate research articles. Questions having direct connections with the IPR issues formed the content of this research article. Researchers derived recommendations based on the findings from the empirical investigation. Furthermore, a legal framework was added to substantiate the discussion. It is pertinent to mention that, involvement of two separate data analysts allowed the extensive data transformation to derive meaningful insights.
