  1. IP Issues in TT @ CERN Date 28/06/04 Robert Abbott and Nelly Castilla

  2. We’ll see • I. TT @CERN • II. Specifics to IT

  3. Phases and Stages

  4. Importance of IP Definition: Intellectual Property ‘is a general name for property which is the product of invention or creativity, and which does not exist in a tangible, physical form’ (Oxford English Dictionary). • IP is important to protect • IP is important to valorize the invention for its commercial use

  5. License agreements Maturity PaSi Agreement PaSi Agreement PaSi Agreement PaSi Agreement Pre-competitive collaborative R&D agreements HEP research Time How this is carried out

  6. Specific Cases • IP ownership transfer is rare because CERN needs it to use it for HEP • It is possible when it’s no more used by CERN • CERN offers services and consultancy if not in competition with industries

  7. Allows continued development Allows non-R&D use + valorisation Open Source CORE (middleware-type Software) Proprietary application (eg. interface) Package for exploitation purpose IP in IT

  8. Concepts • Open Source vs. Public Domain • > Access to source code at no cost + 9 point “definition” (www.opensource.org) • > Public Domain means no one owns it • Open Source vs. Commercial Use • > A program can be available both under open source and a commercial license

  9. IT at CERN • Allows continued expansion and development of the open-source ‘kernel’ • The proprietary software effectively becomes the key to unlock the kernel in a given domain of application • Through the application of the proprietary software the exploitation and diffusion of the package can be correctly managed, in conformity with industrial standards

  10. Solutions • Only the implementation of a clear and precise strategy for IP protection and dissemination will protect the interests of collaborating parties • This requires a clear view of the project purpose, in terms of R&D as well as exploitation • A legally enforceable framework is necessary to execute the above
