Bolted protection of intellectual property rights (IPR) may have intricate implications for the entrepreneurship journey of medical students. Analysis of the entrepreneurship trajectory based on the degree of IPR protection reveals encouraging outcomes (positive influence of stringent IPR safeguarding on entrepreneurial development) only when factors of institutional capacity (educational efficacy, administrative oversight) are excluded from the factors under consideration. When these factors are incorporated, they overshadow the impact of IPR protection efforts (largely due to their substantial correlation with the strength of IPR protections), making it challenging to differentiate between the impacts of rigorous IPR protection and the broader strength of institutional mechanisms on entrepreneurship. Therefore, this points to the need to carefully explore the path of medical students utilizing intellectual property rights to safeguard their ventures.
