DESCRIPTION:Many emerging and developing economies follow a model of maxim
 ising ownership and base their innovation policies on European and US appr
 oaches. Do they have an opportunity to take a radical approach to intellec
 tual property and if so\, what could that look like and what would it mean
  for equitable and sustainable development?\n\n\nReadings and links to the
  online papers and group annotations will be distributed by email\, please
  contact synbio@hermes.cam.ac.uk to sign up for the whole series or indivi
 dual sessions.\nIt is strongly recommended that papers are read in advance
  of the meetings.\n\nABOUT THE SERIES: The guiding question of our researc
 h group will be the extent to which open technologies result in equitable 
 sharing of knowledge and cognitive or technology justice. 'Open' IP descri
 bes a range of approaches to knowledge production\, distribution and consu
 mption that allow more or different actors to participate in producing and
  benefit from technologies. The global shift to knowledge-based economies 
 and increasingly rapid pace of technological advancement means that the qu
 estion of how society deals with intellectual property (IP) and structures
  institutions and communities to manage and disseminate knowledge is criti
 cally important to our future. Our choices will reflect and shape our soci
 etal values\, practices and culture. Advocates of open and collaborative a
 pproaches point to evidence of real social impact from but there is little
  published evidence and any effects are heavily context dependent. \n
