Abstract:The Royal Society makes recommendations to the British government in matters of science. This Report discusses intellectual property rights (IPRs) as they pertain to patents, copyright, and databases. The Society makes several recommendations aimed at keeping science open, one of which, encourages scientists and funders to keep their data accssible to others by allowing free or cheap access to the data. While the report indicates that IPRs can stimulate innovation in research, they also cause tension between private profit and public good and can hinder the free exchange of ideas and information. A complete list of recommendations and actions is included in the report.
