Do patents really have nothing to do with innovation?
Do patents really have nothing to do with innovation?
By Doug Calhoun for sticK
(sticK - 16 Feb. 2012 ) As Stephen Joyce, the new minister both of science and innovation and economic development gets to grips with his new portfolios, he should be addressing the disconnect between the innovation policy and the patent policy of both the current National and the previous Labour led governments.
In mid-November 2011 the Ministry of Science and Innovation released a report entitled "Powering Innovation.
The third recommendation of that report was:
“Individual commercialisation units [of CRIs and Universities] should continue to develop or increase capability both through embedded skills and through networked activity, to deliver high quality screening of IP opportunities and increased good quality commercialisation deal flow nationally."
For sticK – science, technology, innovation &
commercialisation KNOWLEDGE - is a new Wellington based
