Research

Research that tests whether our own programmes work: who reaches IP protection, who does not, and what stands in the way.

Current lines of enquiry

  • Access to patent protection for inventors outside formal research institutions.
  • What geographical indications actually return to producer communities.
  • Why assessed sustainable technologies stall before adoption.
  • Documentation practice that protects traditional knowledge without dispossessing its holders.

We publish openly and welcome collaboration with universities and research institutions.

The FIRSTIP letter

A monthly note on IP practice, sustainable technology and the work of our chapters. No more than one email a month.
