The '''appropriability regime''' is made up of two components:
#The '''nature of the technology'''(tacit/codified knowledge)
#The '''efficacy of legal mechnisms of protection'''
 
'''Patents do not confer perfect appropriability''':
'''Trade secrets''' may be a viable alternative if the product does not reveal the technology (or it can not be reverse engineered). This is likely to be true when knowledge is '''tacit''', rather than '''codified'''. Tacit knowledge is by definition hard to articulate, and can only be transmitted by demonstration. Simplistically, an appropriability regime might be regarded as '''strong''' or '''weak''', with regard to good the protection is.
