IP Management/Tech Transfer Strategies for Improved Global Health: Selected Illustrative Deals with the Private Sector.

Abstract

This presentation describes the work of DNDi and how it deals with intellectual property issues, citing examples: ASAQ (artesunate-amodiaquine for malaria), which was developed by DNDi and licensed out to sanofi-aventis; agreement with Merck to use their compound libraries and know-how to develop jointly owned intellectual property with mutually acceptable licensing arrangements; and agreement with Anacor that the company would own the rights to the products developed but could not charge royalties on their sale in public markets.
