Summary | Issues addressed | Target Audience | Chairman | Participants

SIG-II Meeting, 17/18 November 2011
Hotel Nazionale, Rome

Summary

Today, companies are sourcing R&D worldwide both internally and externally.The public sector universities and research institutes are nowadays obliged by law to offer their R&D services in collaborations with industry on normal market conditions.

General collaboration guidelines (as for instance those based on EIRMA's Responsible Partnering initiative) and various collaboration model contracts (as for instance those agreed between industry and public R&D institutions within the frame of an initiative of the German government) are publicly available in order to help to establish such collaborations in an efficient way.

In practice companies are facing the challenge of handling the remuneration of patentable R&D results in compliance with the national laws and industry practices in the various countries involved. Consequently, there is an increasing need towards more globally harmonised practices from the industry both in respect of fair collaborations and fair remuneration systems.

Within such internal or external R&D collaborations teams with an interdisciplinary and multicultural background, there are often the sources behind innovative solutions which might be protectable by different types of IP as for instance patents, designs, trademarks, and copyright or they might not be protectable at all.

Issues addressed

How to acknowledge and reward such solutions in order to foster and stimulate good team work?
How do companies manage the risk in such harmonised systems?
What are the current best practices?

IP update

The afternoon topic will be an update and discussion of the current status of the political negotiations regarding the Unitary Patent System and the European Patent Court System.
