Ian Harvey, Chairman, Intellectual Property Institute Monday 13 October 2008 The current public view of Intellectual Property (IP) is predominantly negative, as shown by recent Intellectual Property Institute research on the global discourse about IP. Many in the environmental movement reflect this and view IP as an impediment to the invention, development, adoption and diffusion of new technologies. The talk will cover the linkages between invention, patents and economic growth and explore the IP issues that are often seen to be negative. The arguments for IP being least-worst route to the rapid development and deployment of low carbon technologies are equally applicable to most other technology areas. Finally, what are the key IP issues in the run-up to the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference in November 2009? Related reading is available at http://www.rdsoc.org/08L7.html Sun, 16 Nov 2008 23:13:52 +0000 Ian Harvey discusses: societal misconceptions of the benefits of Intellectual Property (IP) rights - copyright, trademarks, design rights and patents. He outlines the incentives, certainty and choice that IP provides, gives examples from pharmaceuticals and Open Source, discusses problems with IP, including antitrust laws and developing country access, and recommends actions that will enable the rapid development and deployment of low carbon technologies. <p> For further reading recommendations, including papers referenced by Ian, visit the <A HREF="http://www.rdsoc.org/08L7.html?podcasttag">R&D Society website</A>. https://randdsociety.jellycast.com/node/4 The Research and Development Society https://randdsociety.jellycast.com/node/4 Ian Harvey, of the Intellectual Property Institute, argues that IP will enable the rapid development of low carbon tech The talk covers the linkages between invention, patents and economic growth and explore the IP issues that are often seen to be negative.

The challenges we face from this and its subsequent implications, whether it’s from food security to water resource to population growth to our wellbeing mean major challenges for society as we progress through the rest of the century. Sir David King, the former Chief Scientific Adviser to the UK Government and the new Director of the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment at the University of Oxford, will in his speech, outline the environmental challenges we face and how best they can and should be tackled. The Duncan Davies Medal is awarded annually to an individual who has made an outstanding contribution toward making the UK the best-performing research and development environment in the world. Sir David King is the recipient of the 2008 Duncan Davies Medal.
