How to help innovators get more out of their IP? (UK)
Ideas for products or services that could help stimulate collaborative innovation and increase opportunities for intellectual property rights are being sought by the Intellectual Property Office in a ‘call for views’ that will help inform its contribution to the next phase of the industrial strategy launched by the government last January.
A feature of ‘Industrial Strategy: Intellectual Property call for views’ is an annex listing examples of proposals the IPO has already received via the industrial strategy consultation and other sources.
While responses are not limited to consideration of these examples, users are invited to comment on what they regard as their potential negative or positive impact on collaboration, commercialisation, knowledge exchange and UK innovation.
Topics covered include
- IP trading platforms and attempts to establish primary and secondary IP markets by both the public and private sectors
- B2B model IP agreements – since the Lambert Model IP Agreements first launched in 2005, they have helped facilitate collaboration between universities and business
- Voluntary IP register – the UK has no official register for copyright works or designs protected by the unregistered design right (UDR), though there are private sector organisations offering legal deposit and registry services
- New financial products – the IPO has heard calls for banks and financial organisations to offer more IP-specific products to help IP-rich businesses access lending based on their intangible assets
- IP licensing resolution – the IPO is aware that IP trading can present some companies with barriers to innovation, notably in the area of Standard Essential Patents (SEPs)
- Royalty-free Patents – it has been suggested that over-use of patents can stifle innovation in burgeoning markets
- IP valuation standards – the IPO is investigating the structure of the growing IP valuation market, the range of methods and models available and how they can be tailored to suit business needs
