Opinion: Abolishing software patents cannot be the answer - itnews - 6 November 2012 |

By Dr Vicky Longshaw and Joe Seisdedos
Patents have been getting a lot of media attention lately, with the recent gene patent debate and the Apple-versus-Samsung patent war polarising public opinion.
There are those who think inventions should not be owned by anyone and the Australian public should be entitled to use them. Then there are those who believe patents are essential to get investors to risk investing in new technologies developed here in Australia.
Amongst all this debate, what has not been considered are Australia's provisions for compulsory licences.

Innovation stymied by ignorance rights - Pg 10 - The West Business - 7 November 2012 |

By Joe Seisdedos
By relying on the Federal Government to fix a historical shortfall in the innovation needed to lift our manufacturing industry's game, manufacturers and technology businesses are making it crystal clear they are floundering.
It is a myth that Australia is weak in its innovation performance. The problem with Australian business is an inability, or unwillingness, to leverage intellectual property.
This has always been the case and it reflects a flaw in the Australian business mindset compared with bigger\ industrialised nations.

Intellectual property assets represent a significant proportion of the capital value of a company. So, the poor IP practices of many companies are exposing them to considerable risk. It is also negatively impacting on their profits, as commercial opportunities are not being realised.

Review of extension terms for pharmaceutical patents |
|
22/10/2012 |
|
The Australian Federal Government has commissioned an expert panel to review current extension arrangements for pharmaceutical patents. Currently, pharmaceutical patents may be extended for up to 5 years beyond the statutory 20 year term only under certain circumstances. The review of the current arrangements will have regard to various aspects including: the availability of competitively priced pharmaceuticals in the Australian market, the role of the patent system in providing employment and investment in research and industry and Australia's position as a net importer of patents and medicines. Submissions will be invited from the public in the coming months as part of the review, with a final report due to be handed to Government in early 2013.
