The CRIN Novel Hydrocarbon Extraction tech theme hosted this engaging and thought-provoking event exploring the underlying problems in how innovators in the oil and gas industry get rewarded for their ideas.
The current model for technology innovation IP is rife with risks and barriers for innovators and producers alike, which slows the process and can even drive innovators out of the country for more favourable approaches and conditions.
The discussion surfaced additional factors involved in creating alternate approaches such as:
- The underlying motivations driving behaviours to protect or leverage IP
- Operator/producer gated IP development processes
- And more!
