The South Australian Productivity Commission has released an
issues paper on Health and Medical Research and Development as part
of an inquiry into its impacts on the state's economy.
Many of our clients are heavily focused on research and
development, and we play a role in protecting their interests in
South Australia, nationally and overseas.
At the Productivity Commission's request, Madderns provided
assistance on the intellectual property aspects of the inquiry. The
discussions related to the trends in research and development and
the factors that influence the extent to which it contributes to
long term productivity gains and economic growth in South
Australia.
The commission has released an issues paper and submissions and
responses have now closed. The SAPC is due to publish its draft
report shortly.
