Public Sector Research Establishments (PSREs) are the responsibility of a number of Government Departments. No central guidance is issued by the Department for Business Innovation and Skills (BIS) on exploiting intellectual property rights. The approach to doing so is determined by individual PRSEs in consultation with their sponsoring department where appropriate.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
However, tools like the Lambert toolkit have been developed, hosted and promoted by the Intellectual Property Office. These can help PSREs conduct effective negotiations in collaborative research projects and includes a set of model IP licensing and ownership agreements.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
BIS has conducted surveys of knowledge transfer activities of PSREs since 2002. The results of the most recent survey undertaken earlier this year will be published shortly. This will include data about numbers of patents applied for, numbers granted and income from the licensing of IP.<\/p>

The Department sets the legislative framework for the inclusion of dispensing appliance contractors on National Health Service England pharmaceutical lists. It is up to NHS England to administer the Regulations and to monitor these contractors. It is for NHS England to approach the Department if they wish to discuss changes to the legislative arrangements. No such approach has been made.<\/p>

The Department\u2019s National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) recognises the key role of Intellectual Property (IP) assets in driving innovation, and the importance of a range of associated activities such as fostering a culture of invention through to collaborating with industry. The NIHR standard research contract is worded to ensure appropriate exploitation of IP.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
For 2013-14, NIHR biomedical research centres and units reported a total of 98 patent applications granted, 106 licensing deals agreed, and 6 spin-off companies established.<\/p>
