“…The legal figure of the inventor also dates back to a time -the XIX century -when the existence of patents had been put into question, and was defended by portraying intellectual property as an individual right, as well as by creating a public image of inventors as "heroes of the industrial revolution" (MacLeod, 2008; see also Machlup and Penrose, 1950;Long, 1991;Bracha, 2005). In that respect, our work applies not only to academic patenting, as it solicits an investigation on the overall adequacy of present norms on inventorship, also when applied to industrial R&D settings.…”

a b s t r a c tAuthorship and inventorship are "attribution rights" upon which individual scientists build their reputation and career. Social and legal norms concerning their distribution within research teams are currently criticized for failing to inform third parties on individual contributions. We examine the case of teams engaged in the "double disclosure" of their research results through both publications and patents, and model the negotiation process taking place between junior or female team members and the senior (male) ones. We suggest that the former may give up inventorship in order to secure authorship, even when entitled to the both. Based on a sample of 680 "patent-publication pairs" (related sets of patents and publications) we show that, very frequently, one or more authors of a publication do not appear as inventors of a related patent. This is less likely to happen for first and last authors, which is in accordance both with our model and the prevailing legal norms on inventorship. However, the probability of exclusion from inventorship also declines with seniority, and increases for women, which is compatible with our model only.

“…Como já dito, as patentes são títulos de propriedade que, registradas junto aos órgãos competentes, garantem ao proprietário os direitos de comercialização de seu invento durante determinado período de tempo, cobrindo os países onde estiverem protegidos (Long, 1991). Por outro lado, mesmo resguardando os direitos do inventor, o registro abre a todos os interessados, detalhes técnicos que podem ser acessados por qualquer pessoa, colaborando para a cooperação e desenvolvimento mútuo (Kieff, 2001).…”

RESUMOEste artigo destaca a mineração de patentes como meio para identificar oportunidades de negócio voltadas às pequenas empresas, valorizando em particular, a ferramenta computacional Patent2Net. Após uma revisão sistemática da literatura sobre as interrelações entre estes temas, concluiu-se que a mineração de patentes pode representar oportunidades efetivas tanto no âmbito da pesquisa e desenvolvimento, como na aplicação comercial. Sob a ótica da Teoria da Inovação Aberta, é possível que as pequenas empresas usem ferramentas de mineração de patentes para: 1) levantar recursos, 2) estabelecer parcerias com universidades, outras empresas e instituições de pesquisa; e 3) aperfeiçoar tecnologias e produtos existentes a partir do desenvolvimento de novas invenções e do registro formal das mesmas. O artigo busca também abrir portas para o diálogo sobre o treinamento na utilização das ferramentas para mineração de patentes como facilitador na busca do desenvolvimento tecnológico compartilhado.

“…The difficulty is apparent. IPR law requires the identification of one person or juristic entity (a group of people who can be legally considered as a single composite) as the creator of a novel idea or an inventive step which has industrial application (Firth 1997;Folkins 2004, 346-347;Long 1991). However, IK is typically held in common and while it might sometimes be possible to identify one particular community which holds a particular instance of IK, this is often not possible.…”

“…Those in favour of the use of IPR law to protect IK argue that it is the strongest means to protect intellectual property because it can grant the holder of the knowledge exclusive control and benefits from the sale of the knowledge concerned (Kiggundu 2007, 26;Long 1991).…”

Protecting Indigenous Knowledge Using Intellectual Property Rights Law: The Masakhane Pelargonium Case

The use of indigenous knowledge (IK) and indigenous bio-resources by pharmaceutical and herbal industries has led to concerns about the need to protect indigenous communities' interests in regards to the use of IK and indigenous bio-resources. Some commentators believe that intellectual property rights (IPR) law can effectively be used to protect IK and indigenous bio-resources, while others are more sceptical. An analysis of the Masakhane Pelargonium case reveals that while the Masakhane community's successful use of IPR law in a case against Schwabe Pharmaceuticals has been lauded as a successful example of a marginalised community using IPR law to protect IK, the facts and results of the case are more ambivalent. Importantly, the Masakhane case shows that existing community resources and the level of mobilisation of the community affect the community's ability to use IPR law 63 effectively. A consideration of the broader context in which IPR law is used is required in order to determine how useful IPR law may be for a particular indigenous community seeking to protect its knowledge and bio-resources. In addition, it also indicates that we need to start recognising communities' existing resources and their determination to be more pivotal to the success of IK-IPR cases.
