Title: Managing severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) intellectual property rights: the possible role of patent pooling. Cord-id: 3earpwg3 Document date: 2005_1_1
ID: 3earpwg3
Snippet: Patent applications that incorporate the genomic sequence of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus, have been filed by a number of organizations. This is likely to result in a fragmentation of intellectual property (IP) rights which in turn may adversely affect the development of products, such as vaccines, to combat SARS. Placing these patent rights into a patent pool to be licensed on a non-exclusive basis may circumvent these difficulties and set a key precedent for the use
