We will explore the concept of “openness” in its various forms and show how the IP system fits with the essence of OS. We will show examples of how the sharing of IP, data, and publications, can be as open as possible, but closed when necessary. Watch the full clip here |

| IP Management in ICT projects 15/10/2024 Compared to other technology sectors, ICT innovations (e.g. new products or services) have unique challenges. ICT innovations often require bundles of different IP Rights (e.g. patents, trademarks, copyright, etc); ICT can be trans-border (e.g. cloud-based); ICT is cumulative (e.g. much re-use and integration); ICT is convergent (e.g. technologies can recombine to create new innovations); ICT is fast-moving and fast-changing (e.g. short life cycles, new paradigms). These characteristics raise many challenges for EC funded projects concerning the management and protection of research results, and strategies and plans for their exploitation. This webinar will discuss specific issues that EC funded projects should address whether using or developing ICT; in particular concerning knowledge management and protection, exploitation, and maximising impacts. This webinar is relevant for all those involved with using, developing and/or commercially exploiting ICT innovations, whether they are SMEs, large companies or researchers.

While this study is comparable to the other Observatory studies focusing on the economic contributions of the various IP rights, it considers specific aspects of agriculture and horticulture, such as the contribution of the PVR system to the global competitiveness of the EU agriculture and horticulture sectors. The webinar will be focused on the results of the study. • The economic contribution of Plant Variety Rights in the European Union. |
