The Human Genome Project demonstrated that data can be made immediately available to the public, benefitting scientific knowledge and innovation. Yet we know that commercialization of new treatments will not happen without appropriate protection of intellectual property. How can the field of biomedicine better balance data availability, information exchange and IP arrangements among academics, researchers, and the public and private sectors? Are there models of pre-competitive sharing from other fields of R&D that are relevant to medical research?
