Patents Bill 2010

The RMI has joined an informal coalition with NZBIO, AGCARM and NZICT to recommend changes to the Patents Bill. A joint letter has been sent to the Minister for Research, Science & Technology Dr Wayne Mapp outlining some of our concerns with the Bill and requesting a meeting with him.

A copy of the letter has also been sent to Prime Minister John Key, Minister of Health Tony Ryall, Minister for Agriculture David Carter and the Prime Minister’s Chief Science Advisor Sir Peter Gluckman.
