Scenario
Crisis
In times of crisis, rapid access to critical technologies, such as vaccines, medical treatments, and essential healthcare innovations, can save lives.
Licensing and Intellectual Property (IP) plays a crucial role in making these technologies available, especially in emergencies where barriers to access can delay response efforts.
Crises can be categorised into two main types:
The IMPAC3T-IP Crisis Scenario Toolbox
To help IP stakeholders navigate licensing in crisis situations, IMPAC3T-IP is developing a dedicated Crisis Scenario Toolbox as part of its broader Toolbox. This resource aims to equip licensing professionals, researchers, policymakers, and other key stakeholders with the knowledge, tools, and strategies to respond effectively to both unforeseen and preventable crises.
By providing clear guidance on policy frameworks, licensing agreements, and equitable access strategies, the toolbox enables more efficient and informed decision-making in times of crisis.
