Interesting take on Intellectual Property from the Innovation Taskforce report.
They recommend a number of items in relation to Intellectual property that they believe could make Ireland a centre of International Best Practice.
- A National IP protocol. Essentiality enabling companies to access IP created at Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in a predictable fashion and with well understood terms.
- Metrics: Measure the performance of Higher Education Institutions and their Tech Transfer offices. They also suggest linking at least o portion of state funding to performance.
- Rationalise the access to IP from the (HEIs). Pretty much make the first item clear and consistent.
- Market Ireland as an International Innovation services centre
All sounds great. I wonder who owns implementation.
