Résumé : | The chapter assesses the role of IP in early-phase research public-private partnerships (PPPs) in the biomedical sector. Pooling complementary resources and expertise, and sharing risks and other burdens between public and private stakeholders, increases effectiveness of PPPs. Diverse social, economic, legal, regulatory, and scientific factors mean the PPP model is complex. The chapter considers knowledge-sharing mechanisms as a key aspect of IP management for shared goals of multiple-stakeholder partnerships. It sheds light on the different aspects that come into play when mapping how IP is generated, protected, and managed (e.g. shared) within and beyond early-phase research PPPs. It considers the relevant concepts and typology of early-phase research PPPs, including pre-competitive PPPs. Following this are sections on key issues, including the boundaries of the pre-competitive partnership; the role of trust within those PPPs; IP ownership and access rights, including the importance of transparent IP rules underlying knowledge sharing strategies; and the role of IP in the performance of PPPs. It concludes with recommendations for best practices to facilitate efficient and equitable knowledge-sharing. |
