In the afternoon, Professor Anne Fitzgerald and I presented on the legal (copyright and patent) issues involved in standards development and use, and how we might move towards a more open system of standards from a legal perspective.
Our slide set is available in powerpoint or in PDF.
I believe that UNSW will be publishing conference papers, including ours, in the near future. I will keep you updated on the publication status of our paper.

OAR conference notes - Richard Jefferson
Richard Jefferson – Opening the innovation ecology
We should ask the question: if we are successful in that everything is made OA – what then? We must make sure that the knowledge we generate will enable people to act on this knowledge and use it for benefit
The post-Yochai Benkler Stack = Physical-Code-Content-Knowledge; Capability to Act
We now have a system that is so opaque and has embedded in it intrinsic “inpermissibility” that it is not useful and capability to act on it is restrained
CAMBIA – focused on innovation system reform
BiOS Initiative – launched early 2005 with an article in Nature, biology open source (biological innovation for open society);
Patent system – actually a system based on open disclosure
This is not about rhetoric – it is about the practical goal of efficiency
OS – open source; open science; open society (need inclusiveness)
Used example of “golden rice” – which was once “poster child” of biological engineering - development of rice for third world areas where there was vitamin A deficiency in food so children were going blind, but the result used so many different products and processes that were patented that eventually the golden rice was not able to go ahead
Patent Lens – develop harmonized structure and infrastructure for searching patents; embedded metadata about patents; web 2.0 quality decision support about patents;
Efficiency = minimise tainting of product from incorporating other people’s IP (usually unknowingly) and maximise capacity for adoption – can try to do this by improving people’s knowledge about what IP is incorporate and enhance decision-maker’s ability to make good decisions for public good
Persistent, pervasive, jurisdiction agnostic activity = platform for community collaboration and transparency
Proper parsing, visualization and decision-making
Initiative for Open Innovation – increasing the equity, efficiency and effectiveness of science-enabled innovation for public good
Defining open innovation:
Open = transparent
Open = inclusive
Web based tools for scientists funding agencies, public sector and innovation enterprises to mine the patent world
Build patent lens into Nature and PLoS biology – to show, where readers are reading an article about a particular invention, whether the author has filed a patent on this
- Public good is not an abstract
