INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RESEARCH INSTITUTE OF AUSTRALIA

Home Research IP Provocations Study Options News and Events Contact Us


THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RESEARCH INSTITUTE OF AUSTRALIA (IPRIA) WAS
ESTABLISHED IN MARCH 2002 AS AN INITIATIVE OF IP AUSTRALIA.

IPRIA was established to increase the understanding, creation, use and
exploitation of intellectual property by Australian organisations and
individuals.  The focus is to move understanding and engagement with
intellectual property from a technical to a strategic
consideration.  Intellectual property in this context is broader than formal
intellectual property rights and includes the management of knowledge, personnel
and intangible assets.

The Institute is a collaborative research centre located at the University of
Melbourne that has received significant funding from IP Australia.  The core
faculties are the Melbourne Law School, Melbourne Business School and the
Faculty of Business and Economics.


IPRIA'S OBJECTIVES ARE TO:

support and generate development of high-level public policy in relation to
intellectual property issues;

optimise the protection, management and exploitation of intellectual property by
all Australian stakeholders, including research institutions, public and private
sector interests

help create an informed environment for, and contribute to, on-going public
debate in Australia about intellectual property issues and related matters,
including innovation policy and economic growth
