Tóm tắt

Mối quan tâm về việc thương mại hóa nghiên cứu đang gia tăng, đặc biệt trong việc thử nghiệm các loại thuốc mới. Vấn đề này liên quan đến những giả định đơn giản hóa và phân cực về nghiên cứu và phát triển (R&D) cũng như quyền sở hữu trí tuệ (IP). Để giải quyết vấn đề này, bài báo này đề xuất một quy trình RT&D ba giai đoạn phức tạp hơn, bao gồm Nghiên cứu Khoa học (R), Đổi mới Công nghệ (T) và Phát triển Sản phẩm Thương mại (D) hoặc quy trình RT&D. Nghiên cứu khoa học và thử nghiệm đổi mới liên quan đến những công việc trí tuệ tốn kém và không sản xuất hàng hoá miễn phí, mà thực tế yêu cầu phải có quy định về quyền sở hữu trí tuệ. Các quy trình RT&D liên quan đến một sự chuyển dịch quyền sở hữu trí tuệ chưa được công nhận từ quyền sở hữu trí tuệ chung đối với hàng hóa công cộng như thông tin và kiến thức sang quyền sở hữu trí tuệ riêng trong các sản phẩm và tài sản hữu hình khác. Vấn đề đặt ra là, loại quyền sở hữu trí tuệ nào: riêng tư hay chung? Bởi vì nghiên cứu khoa học và thử nghiệm đổi mới yêu cầu tính minh bạch về những phát hiện bất lợi, cũng như việc phân phối kết quả rộng rãi và với chi phí thấp, chúng cần một quyền sở hữu trí tuệ chung, mang tính bao trùm. Quyền sở hữu trí tuệ chung là phù hợp với cả việc chia sẻ hàng hóa tri thức và thu hồi chi phí sản xuất. Hơn nữa, nghiên cứu tương thích với thương mại hóa và sự hỗ trợ từ các lợi ích xã hội khác. Mặt khác, nó không tương thích với quyền sở hữu trí tuệ riêng biệt mang tính loại trừ cho phép công bố hạn chế hoặc hoàn toàn bóp nghẹt thông tin. Quyền sở hữu trí tuệ riêng tư thay vì thương mại hóa lại mâu thuẫn với những yêu cầu về tính minh bạch trong nghiên cứu khoa học và thử nghiệm đổi mới. Tuy nhiên, nguồn tài trợ thương mại về nguyên tắc là tương thích với nghiên cứu và thử nghiệm, đặc biệt khi được điều chỉnh bởi một quyền sở hữu trí tuệ chung. Điều này phản ánh một quan điểm thực dụng về sự kết nối cơ bản giữa tri thức và các lợi ích xã hội khác.
