This teleconference explored the possibilities of change in the agricultural biotechnology intellectual asset regime, currently characterized by complementarities among a suite of enabling technologies, traits and germplasm. The speakers discussed how this regime impact current innovators in agbiotech, how long it might persist, what will drive changes within it, and what business models and IP strategies will be successful in that context.
- How will newly emerging technologies shape future intellectual asset management strategies in agbiotech?
- What is the time horizon for core technologies going off patent and what opportunities will this open up?
- How and when should organizations analyze their freedom to operate and what tools can be used to efficiently monitor the IP landscape?
- What licensing strategies are making sense and how will licensing markets develop over the next few years?
- Agricultural biotechnology executives
- Universities and other public-sector research programs owning or developing intellectual property in agricultural biotechnology

At universities, sponsored research and technology transfer has slowed in agbiotech relative to other areas, according to Alan Bennett of the University of California, because smaller companies often do not have affordable access to complementary technologies required for freedom to operate...
As competition shifts down stream from research tools and general methods, to competition in specific product markets, higher value output products are likely to become more important in the industry. The future is likely to bring...
