Intellectual Property and Technology Transfer for COVID-19 Vaccines : Assessment of the record - Executive Summary.

Book summary

17 pages ; [28] cm

This Executive Summary concisely presents the results of an independent study commissioned by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO)’s Global Challenges Division looking at the role played by intellectual property (IP) and technology transfer in the development, production and distribution of vaccines used to address the COVID-19 pandemic. The study uses a case-study approach to provide an in-depth analysis of some of the different approaches adopted by ten different global vaccine manufacturers, with respect to their funding, procurement, vaccine development and IP strategies (including licensing, technology transfer and access provisions). These experiences and lessons learnt provide practical insights to guide global policy-making on IP, health and access issues.
