The publication "Intellectual Property and Bioscience - Compendium of Working Papers from the ScanBalt IPKN Project" is a collection of the key messages and thoughts emanating from the first two years of the Scanbalt Intellectual Property Knowledge Network project. The messages are present as working papers covering diverse thoughts with intellectual property, innovation, and bioscience as the common thread. The main objective is to give the reader sufficient input to facilitate discussions on how intellectual property and intellectual property management are core to the utilization of bioscience for the creation of wealth and welfare.
 
Bioscience is an industry built on the creation and utilization of knowledge, and therefore it is important to understand the basic concepts and strategies required to manage this knowledge as intellectual assets and properties in order to derive value. These working papers attempt to increase the curiosity of the reader and provide a basic understanding of the complex process of generating value from the bioscience industry through intellectual property and knowledge-based business development perspective.
