Funded Activity Summary

Intellectual Property and the Rural Sector: Harvesting the benefits of science and technology. Recent developments in agribusiness and biotechnology promise benefits for the rural sector. However, there has been little research into the Intellectual Property needs and expectations of the sector, a crucial aspect of the innovation process. This hampers policy debate, the development of effective commercialisation strategies, and undermines the effectiveness of Intellectual Property education. This project, the first of its kind, addresses these problems by ascertaining the Intellectual Property needs of rural Australia, through empirical research into policy, education and commercialisation, and provides an understanding essential to support the economic and social development of rural communities.
