What are Some Alternatives to Traditional IP Models?
Several alternative models to traditional IP are being explored to balance innovation with access, including:
Open Source Models: Encourage collaborative research and sharing of data and resources without traditional IP restrictions. Patent Pools: Allow multiple patent holders to pool their patents and license them collectively, reducing costs and increasing access. Compulsory Licensing: Governments can authorize the production of patented treatments without the consent of the patent holder, usually in public health emergencies.
