The Goal: “expansion, inclusion and excellence” for a “dynamic synergy” in Science and Society Universities & Research Institutions are the well springs of knowledge with Industries acting as key channels of knowledge irrigation for societal use pganguli© 2010
Shifting IPR Paradigms • System that originated as Private Rights (Industrial Property). Legal Framework for inanimate but tangible creations of the human mind • Extension of the system to protection of inanimate but seemingly intangible creations • Further extension to tangible animate objects such as life forms • Now the same framework is being extended for protection of tangible and intangible creations of communities over generations…. including modes for benefit sharing arrangements. pganguli© 2010
Shifting IPR Paradigms • Next Steps…… National ownership of biodiversity; private ownership and rights of flora and fauna; collection of bio materials for research work; issues of prior informed consent; issues of disclosure of the origin of biological materials in patent specifications, issues of benefit sharing arrangements between patent applicants/owners for inventions based on traditional knowledge and materials form “private” and or “public sources” pganguli© 2010

The financing of R&D has also changed over time … Taken from presentation by Iain Gillespie of OECD at Biovision 2010 Alexandria March 9 -14 2010 Financing of R&D, 1981 -2005 • Business financing of R&D has taken on greater importance as innovation has become more important for firm performance – high-tech industries have grown in particular. Government’s share has declined and other national sources (notably non-profit institutions) have become more important sources of R&D financing. 800, 000 700, 000 600, 000 500, 000 400, 000 300, 000 Industry Government Other national 200, 000 100, 000 0 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 • 13 pganguli© 2010

…………. Limited access to international knowledge base in specific fields ……. ………. . . Most research though government funded are being done in a fragmented manner and not leading to quality publications ……. . lack of information resources and literature search skills leading to “reinventing the wheel” ………. . …………inadequate utilisation of local traditional knowledge and building on the same ……improper selection of research topics thereby propagating “me-too” areas. pganguli© 2010
…………. Students and researchers aim to publish in high impact peer reviewed journals where publications costs are high and unaffordable …. ………. . . Growth in career based on quality publications in recognised peer reviewed journals ………. Industry support in R&D come with their own restrictions on publications and lack of implementable institutional policies and national policies become bottlenecks ………. . IP applications for industry sponsored research prior to publications pganguli© 2010
…. . . Several Science and Technologies getting orphaned due to non availability of funds to progress ……. inadequate infrastructure, management skills, negotiation acumen, inadequate venture capital culture ………. . sprouting of IPR trolls in developing countries to exploit the existing vacuum created by lack of Central, Competent Knowledge and IPR Management in Universities and institutions …. lack of skills and maturity in the process of forging partnerships pganguli© 2010
