This report explores how new and evolving approaches to IP, such as licensing and auctions, patents pools, IP clearinghouses and emerging models of research collaborations are impacting the modern scientific environment in life sciences. It suggests ways in which both the public and private sectors seek to evolve from an “own and protect” model of intellectual property into an era of “own and share”, where value accrues not just to the initial owner of IP, but also to larger society as a whole.

Draft Recommendation for Assessing the Sustainability of Bio-based Products
11-Aug-2011
The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) invited the public to a consultation on the draft Recommendation for Assessing the Sustainability of Bio-based Products.
All comments received will be collated and analysed. The Recommendation will continue to be revised through expert meetings at which the comments received via the public consultation will be considered as well as additional comments provided by experts and the OECD member countries representatives. The Recommendation is expected to be made public in its final form in 2012.

The OECD’s draft Recommendation offers principles to help design sustainability assessment methodologies of bio-based products and intermediates. This Recommendation is targeted at those involved with innovation in the bio-based industries, and particularly at those involved in evaluating the impact of bio-based products in terms of their environmental, economic and social sustainability. Public comments are invited before 29 July 2011.

The delivery of sustainable economic growth across multiple disciplines is a high priority on the policy agendas of the OECD member and non-member countries. Reviewing the industrial biotechnology innovation systems of these countries provides an excellent opportunity to evaluate the contribution to sustainable growth of this highly innovative and complex industrial sector. While the bio-based economy-related issues of OECD countries have been largely studied; those of the BRICS countries have not been duly addressed.

The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in partnership with the UK’s Economic and Social Research Council's (ESRC) Genomics Network (EGN) hosted a major Forum on 6-7 December 2010 at the OECD Headquarters in Paris. This Forum reviewed how knowledge in the life sciences is governed, shared, regulated and managed, and explored new linkages between the life sciences and information and communication technologies.

The Symposium was held on 17 May 2010 in Montpellier, France. The overall goal of the meeting was to devise the first draft of a policy agenda and recommendations on how genomics can boost the development of the bioeconomy. The main messages which came out of the meeting were the need for guidelines on international cooperation in genomics R&D; the need to further advance the areas of genomics through innovative IPR management models; and the need for innovative approaches to measure the economic impact of genomics.

This workshop, to be held in Berlin, will bring together policy makers, researchers, clinicians and the private sector to discuss challenges in the governance of biomedical innovation. It will aim to help governments identify emerging issues and understand how their actions at local and international levels can help deliver biomedical innovation to achieve better health outcomes. It will provide a forum to compare and contrast the new governance and regulatory models that are emerging across the OECD area and elsewhere.

Industrial and Environmental Biotechnology are part of the core industrial sectors, which drives the transition of the main body of manufacturing sectors (e.g. IT, pharmaceutical, chemical, automotive, textile, food/feed, agriculture, etc.) towards more sustainable and greener economic and environmental models. Two major workshops are being held in these areas.

from 16-Sep-2010 to 17-Sep-2010
The overall goal of the workshop is to understand the framework conditions that govern innovation in environmental biotechnology with a view to identifying and addressing inefficiencies. Workshop participants will include experts from industry, government, academia and international organisations, and non-governmental organisations.
