Welcome to the National Academies' Intellectual Property website. From Internet content protection to human gene patenting, Intellectual Property (IP) in many forms have emerged from legal obscurity to public debate. This website serves as a guide to the Academies' extensive work on Intellectual Property. 
University-Industry Partnership ProjectIn August 2003, the University-Industry Partnership Project (UIPP) was established to deliberate on the causes of, and potential solutions to, the difficulties facing universities and companies when attempting to work together. Four outcomes of the University-Industry Partnership included the report Guiding Principles for University-Industry Endeavors (PDF), the compendium of Living Studies in University-Industry Negotiations (PDF), which describes how the Guiding Principles apply to day-to-day intellectual property negotiations, a National Summit on April 25, 2006, and the concept and design for a new alliance, to be known as the University-Industry Demonstration Partnership. Following nearly three years of discussion and development, the University-Industry Partnership, which consisted of approximately 35 hand-picked individuals that were assembled by the Industrial Research Institute and the National Council of University Research Administrators, evolved into the University-Industry Demonstration Partnership (UIDP) in 2006. For information about upcoming events, publications, and a general overview of the University-Industry Demonstration Partnership, consult the UIDP Homepage. Intellectual Property in Genomic and Protein Research and Innovation - A project jointly run by the National Academies' Board on Science, Technology and Economic Policy and the Science, Technology and Law Panel to review patenting and licensing of human genetic material and proteins and their implications for biomedical reserch, therapeutic and diagnostic products and medical practice. Transcripts and presentations for the public sessions of the committee's first three meetings can be accessed here. Are Chemical Journals Too Expensive and Inaccessible? - The Chemical Sciences Roundtable recently held a workshop titled, “Are Chemical Journals Too Expensive and Inaccessible?” The goal of the workshop was to explore issues relevant to those who use and contribute to the chemical literature, as well as those who publish and disseminate chemical journals. While chemical journal costs are higher in comparison to journals on other subjects, it is not clear this is in fact too much to pay, or if the cost (or other factors) are leading to a lack of access to the chemical literature. Thus, the main questions addressed in the workshop were: Do chemists and chemical engineers have unique journal needs and, if so, are these needs being met in the current journal publishing environment? Part of discussion at the workshop involved how “open access” publishing might be applied to the chemical literature with regard to providing authors more freedom to distribute their articles after publication and allowing free access to chemical literature archives. The summary of the workshop will be published in the spring of 2005. For more information or a copy of the forthcoming report please email BCST. |
