Abstract

Platform Technology includes research tools which refer to the materials and methods scientists need in order to carry out research, such as those used in laboratories (which have no immediate value). Others may be already end products such as cell lines, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), monoclonal antibodies, adjuvants, reagents, organisms. The presentation provides information on patent protection, licensing and other matters intrinsic to enabling research activities, with a focus on TB and Malaria. Research tool-specific patent protection would include research tools such as are used to perform specific tests; for instance, the HIV/HCV test can be protected in research tool-specific patent protection.
