DESCRIPTION
➡ Why should I care about openness? ➡ What are the options to publish my scientific content and keep it open to everyone? ➡ Are patents an effective way to transfer technologies to society? ➡ Is intellectual property being an enabler of scientific and technological advance? ➡ Are there concrete examples of the open science impact? This and other questions were the basis for debate More at: http://www.meetingpoint4.net/openbydefault/

Openness right here, right now
Introduction – about you
Have you ever published in an OA
journal?
Do you maintain a research blog or any other non traditional way of sharing your
results?

Introduction – Openness enablers and criticality
Enablers: • Decreasing transactional costs
• Increasing complexity / interconnectedness
Criticality: • Urgent global challenges to complex to afford closeness
• Huge needs but limited resources
From Closed by Default
Don Tapscott’s four principles of an open world applied to Science
Collaboration
Sharing
Transparency
Empowerment
But first we need to bash some of the old paradigms…

Open Innovation and Openness in Science
The traditional tech transfer pipeline
If it doesn’t
have commercial prospects
If there is no interest
in the offer
If it has
commercial
value
If there is
an interested
party
Research FundingResearch centre
infrastructure and
accumulated knowledge
Scientific Discovery
Evaluation of the
discovery/invention and
its potential applications
Scientific Publication
Application for a
patent or other
IP rights
Technology is
“packed” to be offered
in the market
Patent becomes part
of the passive portfolio
of IP
Negotiations to
licence, sell or create
an spin-off
Final transaction and
exchange of IP
Generation Evaluation and Selection Technology Push Transaction
TTO usually does not
get involved
TTO offers support and expertise
in commercial evaluation and IP
Usually TTO is fully
responsible for this process
Once IP is cleared
it is possible to publish

Quick Intellectual Property Discussion
DTU owns roughly 200 patents source: dtu.dk
“The 20-year lifetime costs of a patent family consisting of US and Japanese patents and a European patent extending to Germany, France and the UK will amount between 100.000 to 200.000 USD”
Source: http://www.dyoung.com/patentnewsletter-aug09
Total cost of DTU patent portfolio could easily be 30 million USD
2011 total DTU income-expenses = 14 Million USD
