Observatory
on Intellectual Property
At
its meeting in October 2006, the Executive Board of the International
Council for Science (ICSU) approved a preliminary proposal
for ICSU to develop an Observatory on Intellectual Property
(IP). IP policies have a major impact on science and access
to scientific products, including data and information, and
these policies are increasingly being developed at the international
level in organizations such as the World International Property
Organization. The scientific community does not currently
have a concerted mechanism for monitoring and influencing
these policies; the observatory would be designed to address
this deficit.
