#EoI - IP for Open Science

Workshop

Join this Masterclass and learn why open science and intellectual property are not contradictory and how to manage them.

This session is about open science (OS) and intellectual property (IP). Many people might think that OS and IP are in conflict, (isn´t IP secret?) but we´ll see that they have a lot in common.

OS is a movement to provide transparency and access to research results to support innovation. Access to research results should be FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable). However, OS does not ignore commercial interests so OS is as “open as possible, but as closed as necessary”. But we’ll see that as transparent open science is, it doesn´t mean that you can ignore IP.

IP is a legal system to reward innovators, protect their creativity and to support innovation. We´ll see that IP information – today we´ll concentrate on patents - is also FAIR . And “as open as possible, as closed as necessary” is actually built in to IP from the start. IP has been around for a very long time and you could consider IP as the original “open science”.

 

Join us to deep dive into OS and IP principles and how to combine both systems.
