Stem cell research and the intellectual property derived from it, because of its potential to completely transform health care, demand an especially high level of consideration from business and patent prosecution perspectives. As with other revolutionary technologies, ordinary risks are amplified (e.g., litigation), and ordinarily irrelevant considerations may become important (e.g., heightened level of both domestic and foreign legislative risk). In the first part of this article, general strategies for patent prosecutors such as several prosecution considerations and methods for accelerating patent prosecution process are presented. In the second part, patent prosecution challenges of stem cell—related patents and possible solutions are discussed. In the final part, ethical and public policy issues particular to stem cell—related and other biotechnological inventions are summarized. ( Journal of Biomolecular Screening 2007:769-774)

As tax-exempt entities that compete in commercial markets with for-profit organizations, nonprofit health care organizations present stimulating intellectual challenges to the theorist and the empiricist alike. Because of third-party payment and policy intensiveness of health care, much information is available to researchers. Most research has focused on comparisons with for-profits and on public policy issues. This article describes the major streams of research on health care delivery organizations and the main sources and types of data that are available to researchers. We suggest criteria for evaluating data sources and identify some limitations and barriers that now exist. We conclude by identifying and assessing the data problems that could confront researchers interested in ownership issues in health care and by offering suggestions on how the more serious ones might be addressed to facilitate improved research.

Abstract Aging and health care public policy in Washington can be driven and influenced by the work of GSA researchers, educators, and practitioners from across the nation. This session will examine and explore public policy priorities from an interdisciplinary perspective and consider opportunities for communicating these policies with key policymakers. This session is an interdisciplinary look at policy issues in aging with the speakers representing views from the six sections of GSA. This session, organized by the GSA Public Policy Committee, will provide both GSA section leadership and attendees an opportunity to have an open dialogue on important public policy issues of significance in the field of aging. The session discussant will help to facilitate a robust discussion of the presentations by speakers. Organized by the GSA Public Policy Committee, this dialogue will benefit the work of the Committee in 2021.

The One

Recent years have witnessed enhanced utilisation of varied means of alternative dispute resolution to resolve a variety of disputes. While many areas have seamlessly adapted and internalised such extension, intellectual property disputes continue to offer stubborn resistance. This is because on the one hand intellectual property represents substantial business asset, while on the other it is an outcome of a carefully constructed public policy. The tension between the two viewpoints has a profound effect on how intellectual property disputes are understood and resolved. As a result, jurisdictions, world over, including India, have struggled to suitably respond to concerns emanating from private adjudication (in particular use of arbitration), to resolve public policy issues (such as disputes pertaining to intellectual property). This article attempts (a) a critical appraisal of the efforts to arbitrate intellectual property disputes in India, (b) identify and analyse legal roadblocks to such attempts including contradictory approaches adopted by Indian courts and (c) finally, undertake an evaluation of a possible compromise that enables arbitration of intellectual property disputes in India.
