1. 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

2. 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

3. 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

4. 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

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

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

7. Relationship with industry: procurement

9. 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?

10. 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

11. 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?
