The Executive Summary and the Report, Toward a New Era of Intellectual Property: from Confrontation to Negotiation, set out the findings and recommendations of the International Expert Group on Biotechnology, Innovation and Intellectual Property to assist policy-makers, industry, universities, researchers and NGOs in managing the transition from Old IP, under which companies and governments mistakenly believed that holding on to more and greater patents was the key to success, to New IP, in which actors recognise the importance of collaboration and sharing.
