Intellectual property and climate change: inventing clean technologies. By providing recommendations about intellectual property law, policy and practice to policy-makers and stakeholders, this project will promote research and development of clean technologies in Australia. It will also facilitate the transfer of such technologies in Australia and to developing countries and least developed countries.
Disclosure in patents, an economic analysis using computational linguistics. This project aims to analyse the disclosure of patents. To achieve economic growth, the patent system aims to provide incentives for research and development as well as to ensure knowledge is accessible as widely as possible. This project will explore and demonstrate the usefulness of computational linguistics in the economic analysis of disclosure in patents. In particular, the project will look at the role of readabi ....Disclosure in patents, an economic analysis using computational linguistics. This project aims to analyse the disclosure of patents. To achieve economic growth, the patent system aims to provide incentives for research and development as well as to ensure knowledge is accessible as widely as possible. This project will explore and demonstrate the usefulness of computational linguistics in the economic analysis of disclosure in patents. In particular, the project will look at the role of readability in the patent application and examination process. This will provide a strong potential to inform and improve patent examination processes and patent policy. Expected outcomes will enable society to achieve greater use of the knowledge embedded in the patent system, thereby contributing to higher economic growth.Read moreRead less
Intellectual property and 3D printing. This project aims to provide guidance for industry and policy-makers about intellectual property, three-dimensional (3D) printing, and innovation policy. It will consider the evolution of 3D printing, and examine its implications for the creative industries, branding and marketing, manufacturing and robotics, clean technologies, health-care and the digital economy. The project will examine how 3D printing disrupts copyright law, designs law, trade mark law, ....Intellectual property and 3D printing. This project aims to provide guidance for industry and policy-makers about intellectual property, three-dimensional (3D) printing, and innovation policy. It will consider the evolution of 3D printing, and examine its implications for the creative industries, branding and marketing, manufacturing and robotics, clean technologies, health-care and the digital economy. The project will examine how 3D printing disrupts copyright law, designs law, trade mark law, patent law and confidential information. The project expects to provide practical advice about intellectual property management and commercialisation, and boost Australia’s capacity in advanced manufacturing and materials science.Read moreRead less

Summary
Regulating internet content through notice-and-takedown. This project is designed to create a set of principles to help governments, firms and civil society organisations to address harmful online content in more sophisticated ways. Such groups are increasingly seeking to influence the intermediaries that provide internet services to take more responsibility for content on their networks. Globally, these intermediaries receive millions of requests to remove content posted by users each month. Th ....Regulating internet content through notice-and-takedown. This project is designed to create a set of principles to help governments, firms and civil society organisations to address harmful online content in more sophisticated ways. Such groups are increasingly seeking to influence the intermediaries that provide internet services to take more responsibility for content on their networks. Globally, these intermediaries receive millions of requests to remove content posted by users each month. This project seeks to understand how Australian and international intermediaries respond to takedown requests in three areas: copyright, defamation, and hate speech. It aims to create new knowledge about how intermediaries can be influenced to regulate internet content, and how due process and freedom of speech can be protected.Read moreRead less
Australian made: A history of Australian copyright law and creator success 1868-1968. This project evaluates the role of copyright law in the development of Australian culture. Through an investigation of the experience of five iconic Australian creators in the arts (Nellie Melba, Norman Lindsay, Ken Hall, Albert Namatjira and Alfred Hill) the project examines how copyright law actually worked and the extent to which it served the mutual interests of Australian creators and media owners.

Through an investigation of the experience of five iconic Australian creators in the arts (Nellie Melba, Norman Lindsay, Ken Hall, Albert Namatjira and Alfred Hill) the project examines how copyright law actually worked and the extent to which it served the mutual interests of Australian creators and media owners. The project makes a unique and significant contribution to the history of Australian copyright law, a long neglected area of research. It builds a better understanding of the legal foundations to commercial success. Misunderstanding in this area currently causes difficulties in law reform processes.Read moreRead less
Securing Australia's food and fibre futures: intellectual property and access to plant genetic resources. The project aims to improve the operation of the scheme that currently regulates access to plant genetic resources in Australia. It aims to ensure that the regulatory scheme does not hamper access to plant genetic resources but instead will enhance the development of new plants, which is essential for Australia's future food and fibre security.
Intangible cultural heritage across borders: laws, structures and strategies in China and its Association of Southeast Asian Nations neighbours. This project explores the way selected Asian countries have implemented international concepts regarding intangible cultural heritage and how cross-border conflicts about heritage have resulted from different interpretations of related 'rights'. This project develops proposals for international reconciliation and cooperation in heritage protection.
Intellectual Property requirements in Free Trade agreements: implications for development in Pacific Island Countries. This project investigates ways in which intellectual property laws can be used to promote development in the Pacific Island Countries. It will inform and support Australia's trade negotiations with the region in the context of Pacific Agreement on Closer Economic Relations (PACER) Plus.
Testing trade mark law's image of the consumer. An effective trade mark law is vital both to protect consumers and to allow businesses to build brand recognition. This project seeks to put Australian trade mark law on a firmer empirical footing by bringing together experts from psychology, law and marketing to test the law’s assumptions against actual consumer responses.
Copyright and Cartography: Understanding the past, shaping the future. This project investigates the history of copyright in maps. It aims to discover what is at stake when we seek to regulate the production and dissemination of geographic data, a field which sits at the highly contested intersection of private rights and public access. Making extensive use of historical archives and taking an interdisciplinary perspective, the project plans to produce a comprehensive history of copyright in ma ....Copyright and Cartography: Understanding the past, shaping the future. This project investigates the history of copyright in maps. It aims to discover what is at stake when we seek to regulate the production and dissemination of geographic data, a field which sits at the highly contested intersection of private rights and public access. Making extensive use of historical archives and taking an interdisciplinary perspective, the project plans to produce a comprehensive history of copyright in maps, charts and plans in Australia and the United Kingdom. It aims to highlight the ways in which copyright and the cultural field shape each other and the significance of this for geographic knowledge. The project is designed to engage with contemporary efforts to reform copyright law and policy relating to geographic data.Read moreRead less
