Indian researchers’ perceptions of access problems of protected platform technologies and experiences
Abstract
The presentation focuses on a survey of researchers specifically working on tuberculosis (TB) or Malaria, and development of a survey instrument to measure their ability to access technologies and resulting patents derived from research work. The majority of respondents did not face any problems of denial of license or breakdown of negotiations to license in patented platform technologies. But ~30% of respondents abandoned their research due to lack of resources that would enable adoption of costly technologies or due to restrictive clauses in their agreements.
