Towards a roadmap for collaborative R&D 26th-27th March 2012 DESY With the assistance of: AIDA is co-funded by the European Commission within the Framework Programme 7 Capacities Specific Programme, Grant Agreement 262025

The Open Science Model Public Research Organisations as a source of new discoveries Two routes for knowledge transfer: Publication of results in scientific journal Contract work with industry No Intellectual Property rights retained by PRO Unrestricted flow of information

The Licensing Model The Bayh-Dole Act. in the US in 1980 Public Research Organisations as sources of new inventions The Bayh-Dole Act. in the US in 1980 Intellectual Property transferred from the Government to the universities TT Office and process Invention Disclosure IP protection Licensing to industry or start-up More successful (financially) in the US than in Europe Equivalent number of licences More start-ups in the US More income from licensing in the US

The Innovation Model Licensing Collaborative R&D with industry Public Research Organization as source of innovation Licensing Collaborative R&D with industry Creation of spinoff companies = pro-active Technology Transfer

The open innovation model License in Buy Spin in Spin out Cross-license Sell License out

The open innovation paradigm Increasing role of Intellectual Property Increasing role of Public Research

Relationship with industry: procurement Buy Industry PP institute CERN

Relationship with industry: pro-active technology transfer Pre-procurement Collaborative R&D License out Industry Spin out PP institute CERN

R&D contexts for PP and industry Research: Open science Industry: In/out sourcing technology Publication of discoveries & R&D results Scientific recognition Value in copyrights R&D to meet scientific programme objectives Long-term Best possible solution within budgetary constrains R&D results: Technology IP rights to use internally Highly collaborative Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) Unclear IP situation Joint ownership of R&D results Complex dissemination Funding Public Quality of research program Protection of innovations & know-how Required to facilitate industrial dissemination Value in IP rights (patents, etc.) R&D to increase market share Short-term Best cost-effective solution R&D results: Products (prototypes) IP rights to manufacture Highly competitive Licence and/or partnership agreement Clear IP situation Clear ownership of R&D results Dissemination based on manufacturing Financing Private with public support (EU, National funds) Product market potential How to foster R&D collaborations?

Interests in collaboration Research Partnering with industry to ensure best possible technology for money Small to medium but high tech market IP generated by industry during collaboration may affect future tenders Industry Involvement in early prototyping phase can give a competitive advantage Need to apply developments for research to other disciplines and to commercial products

Discussion How to better involve industry before the construction phase of large research projects while keeping the Open science approach and the open innovation model? How could we make provisions for applications in pre-procurement collaborative agreements?
