Intellectual property mapping

In progress

Conduct mapping of intellectual property for improved influenza vaccines to identify synergies in approaches that may be used to develop new partnerships.

Progress Highlights

The Medicines Patent Pool, established by Unitaid (WHO), established a mechanism to monitor patent publications relevant to mRNA-based vaccines, including next-generation influenza vaccines. The database is updated periodically and accessible online.

WHO and LSHTM are developing the FVIVA, which will include mapping of intellectual property for improved influenza vaccines.
