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

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.

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”

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.

………….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
