Knowledge Commons in the UN climate talks

In this application of the CRB methodology we will project the climate agreements' implications for the portfolios of the multiple stakeholders involved.
Global Patent Pools: Reshaping the boundary between the knowledge commons and intellectual property?
For the background of this initiative, see UN-climate-report-envisions-modified-trips-as-governments-seek-progress (post) and Informal-UN-climate-talks-indicate-continued-divergence-on-ip-issues (post). The importance of TRIPS (Trade Related aspects of Intellectual Property Rights) is addressed in publications such as World Economic and Social Survey 2009.
Following the systematic analysis of the knowledge commons in the UN climate talks, it will be investigated if and how Global Patent Pools could become a suitable mechanism for accelerating innovation on environmentally sound technologies.
