This research paper examines the relationship between intellectual property (IP) protection and economic growth, with a specific focus on Shenzhen from 2014 to 2020. The study investigates the effect of IP protection measures, the combined effect of IP protection and investment, and the combined effect of IP protection and workforce on the total output. Previous literature has highlighted the positive influence of IP protection on economic growth in developed regions, but its impact in transitioning economies, like Shenzhen, remains less explored. Using a linear regression model, this research aims to provide insights into the interplay between IP protection, fixed investment, workforce size, and trade openness in the context of Shenzhen's economic development during the period under study. This will further clarify the connection of IPR to economic growth in a transitioning economy.
