INNOVATION AND THE PATENT SYSTEM:
MAXIMISING AUSTRALIA'S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
One-Day Conference Melbourne
5 November 2004
Innovation drives economic growth and competitiveness in developed nations. Intellectual property rights, particularly patents, provide an important impetus for innovative activity because they enable property rights protection and potential market advantage. In order for Australia to be an effective competitor in the global economy it is necessary for all participants in the intellectual property system, namely governments, regulators, professionals, business and the general public, to have a more sophisticated understanding of intellectual property rights. ipria is pleased to bring together a panel of national and international experts to inform and generate discussion among the various interest groups about possibilities for best management and use of the national and international patenting systems.

IPRIA-Melbourne Institute Innovation
Index Award
|
Cochlear Limited are the recipients of the first
annual IPRIA-Melbourne Institute Innovation Index
Award for the most innovative company in Australia.
The award
was presented by Dr Ian Heath, Director-General of IP Australia, at the "Pursuing
Opportunity and Prosperity" conference in Melbourne, on 13th November
2003. Cochlear, which is famous for its hearing implant devices, has been in
the top 10 of innovative companies for the past five years and this is the second
year in a row it has been ranked No. 1 as the most innovative Company in Australia
in the past year, as measured by the IPRIA R&D and Intellectual Property
Scoreboard for 2003. The Innovation Index determines the innovativeness of Australian
companies based on R&D spend and IP protection, normalised for firm size.
The Index is published as a table, with the top 50 companies listed in rank order.
This year we decided that the top-ranking company would be presented with the
IPRIA-Melbourne Institute Innovation Index Award. The
Innovation Index forms part of IPRIA's annual
publication called "R&D and IP Scoreboard". This
publication is compiled by the Intellectual Property Research Institute
of Australia and the Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social
Research, with assistance from IBISWorld Pty Ltd and IP Australia.
The 2003 edition covers patent, design and trade mark applications
made in 2002, and R&D expenditure for financial years ending 2002.
The current edition is the sixth in the series.
The R&D
and Intellectual Property Scoreboard provides also identifies the
companies most active in seeking
intellectual property protection in Australia. Unisearch Limited, the
commercialisation arm of the University of NSW, applied for the most
patents.
The company making the most trade mark application was Effem Foods
Pty Ltd, the maker of such well known products as Mars bars, Uncle
Ben’s pet foods,
and the Mastercraft herbs and spices. The motor vehicle and car spare part
manufacturer, Holden Ltd, took out the most design applications. |
