National Principles of Intellectual Property Management for Publicly Funded Research

The National Principles of Intellectual Property Management for Publicly Funded Research provide guidance on how intellectual property (IP) generated through publicly funded research in Australia should be managed, shared and commercialised to maximise national benefit.

The principles:

  • refine the scope, purpose, and types of IP covered under publicly funded research
  • outline principles for ownership, management, protection, and dissemination of research IP
  • emphasise institutional responsibility for clear IP policies and effective management practices
  • encourage collaboration, commercialisation, and open access where appropriate to maximise value
  • support transparency, accountability, and reporting of IP outcomes from publicly funded research
  • aim to ensure research delivers economic, social, and innovation benefits to Australia
