Scenario
Classical Plus
Traditional technology licensing focuses on high-value patents, primarily from STEM research, and prioritises economic returns.
However, this approach often overlooks research outputs with significant societal benefits, particularly in fields like Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (AHSS).
Classical Plus is a new approach to licensing that expands beyond patents to include copyrights, know-how, digital libraries, datasets, and other assets. It shifts the focus from purely financial gain to broader societal and environmental impact.
Key features of Classical Plus licensing:
Includes AHSS research and diverse intellectual assets.
Embraces Creative Commons, Freemium, and automated licensing to support low-value, high-impact assets.
Uses automation to simplify licensing, making widespread adoption feasible.
