Open Innovation:
A QUT Research Symposium
Presented by QUT Faculty of Law Intellectual Property and Innovation Law Research Program
Thursday, 24 October 2019
9:00 am to 5:00 pm
S1215, Owen J. Wordsworth Room (Gardens Point)
QUT Gardens Point Campus
OVERVIEW
This research symposium is dedicated to the topic of open innovation. This event will provide a focal point for Open Access Week in Brisbane, Queensland for 2019. The theme for Open Access Week is ‘Open for Whom? Equity in Open Knowledge’.
This symposium will consider the relationship between copyright law, contract law, and scholarly publishing, and the clash between proprietary and open access models. It will explore the evolution of open licensing – from Free Software and Open Source Software to the burgeoning Creative Commons movement. The symposium will preview the forthcoming Supreme Court of the United States case between Carl Malamud and Public Resource.org, and the State of Georgia over copyright law and access to justice.
This conference will examine the debate over public education and access to knowledge. It will consider the efforts to provide open educational resources for students. This event will examine larger questions of digital inclusion. In particular, it will focus upon recent copyright law reform in respect of disability rights at a national and an international level. It will consider larger questions about the relationship between open access, education and sustainable development. This event will also highlight the tensions between copyright law, database protection, and open data.
This symposium will investigate the rise of open innovation – both in the context of public research and new business models. It will chart the movements of Open Agriculture, Open Biology, Open Medicine, Open Neuroscience and Open Science. It will examine how the strategies of open licensing have been deployed as an alternative to proprietary models of protection under patent law and trade secrets. It will also investigate the use of open licensing in the context of the environment, biodiversity, and climate change.
The event features speakers from QUT, the University of Queensland, the University of the Sunshine Coast, Bond University, the University of Canberra, and Griffith University. The presenters will cover a range of disciplines – including law, the creative industries, design, science and technology, robotics, political science, and international relations.

ABSTRACTS
Session 1
Chair
Paula Callan (QUT Library)
Since 2003, Paula Callan has been actively engaged in encouraging the uptake of innovations in scholarly publishing, particularly those related to open access, at the institutional, national and international level. In 2004, she led the implementation of QUT’s very successful open access repository, QUT ePrints. At the time, it was the first such repository in the world to be backed by an institution-wide open access ‘mandate’. Similar policies now exist at many other universities around the world.
In 2008, Paula was appointed by the ARC (Australian Research Council) to be a member of the Indicators Development Group for the first round of ERA (Excellence in Research for Australia).
In collaboration with members of the OAK Law Project Team, Paula was involved in the development of OAKList; a publicly available database of information about publishers’ open access policies and the rights retained by authors under the terms of the copyright transfer agreements used by Australian scholarly publishers. When it was released in 2009, OAKList was an important resource for Australian academic authors and repository managers. Subsequently, the data was transferred to Sherpa-RoMEO, an international version of OAKList.
Between 2008-2013, Paula was QUT Library’s eResearch Access Coordinator. While in this role, she helped develop and implement the University’s first training program on research data management. The program was designed to provide researchers with the tools and knowledge needed to ensure their data was not just safely stored but also could (where appropriate) be made discoverable and accessible.
In her current role as Scholarly Communications Librarian, Paula still has oversight of QUT ePrints but also supports a number of other open access publishing related services including the eJournal Hosting Service which supports a number of high-quality peer reviewed open access journals published here at QUT.
Open Education
Not a Simple Relationship: Ensuring that Open Scholarship Maximises Equity and Benefit across Education
Professor Virginia Barbour (QUT)
Abstract
This year’s theme of “Open for Whom? Equity in Open Knowledge” has brought into sharp focus the long term aims of open scholarship – as not the end game, but as a means to an end. This is good time therefore to reflect on how openness can support equity for users and producers of open educational resources and tools, and also to reflect on challenges that remain.

Open Access
The Impact of the Marrakesh Treaty on the Print Disabled in the Global South
Dr Paul Harpur (UQ) with Michael Ashley Stein (Harvard Law School)
Abstract
Coupled with the expansion of low cost screen readers, digital format E-Books have made worldwide reading equality an achievable dream. Nevertheless, copyright laws, industry practices and lack of political will have resulted in a book famine that prevents persons with print disabilities across the globe from reading. The book famine is serious in the Global North, and pervasively detrimental in much of the Global South. Certainly, the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), in combination with the Treaty to Facilitate Access to Published Works for Persons Who Are Blind, Visually Impaired, or Otherwise Print Disabled (Marrakesh Treaty), have transformed international law. But will these human rights matter in practise? This presentation draws upon a chapter Dr Harpur has written with Professor Michael Ashley Stein that analyses the new sharing model and reflects on its potential impact.

Open Law
Georgia on my Mind: Carl Malamud, Public.Resource.Org, Copyright Law, Government Edicts, and Access to Justice
Professor Matthew Rimmer (QUT Faculty of Law)
Abstract
This presentation previews the Supreme Court of the United States case of Georgia v. Public.Resource.Org. In 2013, Public.Resource.org (Public Resource) scanned all the volumes of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, and uploaded the documents to its website to be made freely available to the public. In 2015, the State of Georgia obtained an injunction against Public Resource in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia for infringing Georgia’s copyright in the code’s annotations. In 2018, the Eleventh Circuit reversed this ruling, and held that ‘no valid copyright interest can be asserted in any part of the [code].’ The State of Georgia has appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States. According to SCOTUS.blog, the Supreme Court of the United States will consider whether ‘the government edicts doctrine extends to – and thus renders uncopyrightable – works that lack of the force of law, such as the annotations in the Official Code of Georgia.’ There have been a plethora of submissions by friends of the court to the Supreme Court of the United States. The State of Georgia was supported by a number of states, the Software & Information Industry Association, and the LexisNexis Group. Public Resource has been supported by a coalition of libraries, copyright law reformers, and government accountability organisations. Next generation legal research platforms and databases and digital accessibility advocates have also supported Public Recourse. One of the most powerful submissions was by 119 students, 54 solo and small-firm practitioners of law, and 21 legal educators. This brief argued that ‘all amici are harmed when the creation of tools for reading, using, and analyzing the law are hobbled by a copyright system that is meant to encourage creation, not regulate civic access to government.’ This case will have important implications in respect of open access to government records and legal matters.

Open Culture
The Intergenerational Cultural Implications of Automated Regulatory Technologies in Digital Media Environments
Dr Joanne Gray (QUT DMRC and the Creative Industries Faculty)
Abstract
A diverse and highly generative culture must first be an open culture. We can only create and contribute to culture when we have freedom to play with existing ideas, techniques and resources. The development and deployment of algorithmic regulatory technologies, particularly those used to filter content and enforce copyright on the internet, substantially reduce levels of openness in critical social and cultural spaces and threaten to restrict cultural openness for generations to come. We should be very concerned by policymakers’ apparent embrace of and demand for the adoption of these technologies. The most recent European Union copyright directive, for example, in effect strongly incentivises platforms to deploy automated system to monitor for copyright infringement, and is regarded by some a viable and sensible policy model for other jurisdictions and subject matter. As automated regulatory technologies evolve, and if they are applied more broadly, we must examine and anticipate the intergenerational cultural implications.

Open Cities
Open Cities: Openness as a basis for Trustworthiness in Smart Cities
Brydon Timothy Wang (QUT)
Abstract
The proliferation of sensors in the built environment has given us an unprecedented ability to aggregate large data sets and model the physical assets of our cities.
These digital replicas are called ‘Digital Twins’ and allow us to utilise real-time inputs to simulate the effect of any changes made to our cities and inform our decision-making processes.
In 2018, the UK Digital Framework Task Group put forward 9 Gemini Principles. These principles articulate an ethical framework to ensure that development of digital models serve the public’s interests, creates valuable insights and economic benefit. The principles also serve to establish the technical expectations of these digital twins. But more importantly, the principles of openness and accountability are espoused to set in place trusted systems for how data is collected, owned and transferred, analysed and used to drive decision-making. As these digital systems and the urban data they rely on play an increasing role in decision-making in urban design, we must consider the principles of openness and accountability, and the other Gemini Principles, through a lens of trustworthiness.

Open Additive Manufacturing
3D Printing, Sustainable Development and Openness: The Importance of Open-Source to Enable Disruptive Solutions in the 21st Century
Samuel Lobao (QUT)
Abstract
Based on my current research into the potential of utilising 3D printing as leveraging technology for achieving sustainable development goals, this presentation will highlight the importance of open-source innovation in order to consolidate this interface. In the last decade, this technology, once restricted to large industrial sites, has become more accessible to the public in a wider range of applications. Together with other digital technologies, 3D printers promise to democratise innovation as result for simplifying, expediting and redistributing manufacturing.
The open-source movement was, and still is, instrumental for this change. Following the expiration of the first patents, the RepRap project was an open-source project responsible for the first low-cost 3D printers focused on the general public. Being capable of self-replicating its parts, the RepRap grew popular with members of the Maker movement – one of the main reasons for the popularisation of 3D printing. As a consequence of the increasing popularity, many creative minds are using 3D printers to create new avenues of work against some persistent development problems. Amongst these new-millennia tinkers, the open-source model is extremely popular. As remarkable example, Careables.org is an open hardware project functioning as a platform for co-design and sharing of health products throughout new digital fabrication technologies.
These cases, amongst other examples of open-source initiatives, will serve to demonstrate some of the major contributions done by open models to the topic, revealing its importance as an enabling mechanism for innovative contributions and disruptive solutions in the 21st.

Open Agriculture
Can Agriculture Be ‘Open’ If No-One Shares?
Professor Jay Sanderson (University of the Sunshine Coast) and Associate Professor Leanne Wiseman (Griffith University)
Abstract
As global and domestic initiatives around open agriculture gather pace, it is necessary to consider legal frameworks and issues that may hinder or help the sharing of agricultural data. In this paper, we combine insights from a survey of Australian farmers with a legal analysis of the way in which agricultural data are collected, controlled, shared and used. We argue that the lack of transparency and clarity around issues such as data ownership, privacy and liability in the commercial relationships governing smart farming are contributing to farmers’ reluctance to engage in the widespread sharing of data. At the heart of the concerns is the lack of trust between the farmers as data contributors, and those third parties who collect, aggregate and share their data.

Open Data
Open Environmental Data: Strengthening Data Culture and Communities
Bernadette Hyland-Wood (UQ)
Abstract
Government data, including openly accessible data, serves to inform many important areas of public policy impacting on job creation, public health, energy and the environment. In liberal democracies, open government data are seen to support government transparency, and Right-to-Know laws, and advancement of science. Recently, federal science and environmental organizations with a long history of supplying open data have become the targets of funding cuts. If open government data are located in areas of political contestation, leaders may be tempted to order the concealment or removal of information from public websites. This study describes the potential disruption to scientific knowledge production and applied research when open data management is not prioritized or when a supportive culture for data sharing is lacking. One might expect an erosion of engagement during a period when ‘fake news’ makes daily headlines and evidence-based policymaking seems diminished. Paradoxically, recognition of the benefits of public investment in open data is serving as a rallying cry to scientists and open data advocates worldwide, and to public sector officials in over 70 countries who have adopted the Open Data Charter. The progress of public sector data champions and data-driven research communities forging open access frameworks and policies for sharing, linking and preserving publicly funded data are discussed. Scientists, data advocates and civil society organizations are engaging in informed discussion, defining and promoting robust mechanisms to prioritize, release, share and preserve this public good.

Open Robotics
Open versus Proprietary in Robotics: A Trillion Dollar Tension
Professor Michael Milford (QUT Science and Engineering Faculty)
Abstract
The technological arms race towards ubiquitous robotics, autonomous vehicles and artificial intelligence is one of the greatest in modern history, with speculation of a multi-trillion dollar market. At its core lies a strange tension between open source code and packages, which enables and drives many of the advances in the field, and highly proprietary technology developed in-house within corporations and start-ups. I will provide an overview of this interesting landscape, pointing out success cases in the robotics open access community, and detail some of the key ongoing and future challenges and opportunities.

Open Medicine
Open to Whom? Questions about Innovation and Access in the Health Sector
Dr Bruce Baer Arnold (University of Canberra)
Abstract
It is axiomatic that best practice in the development and delivery of health services involves openness: scrutiny by clinicians, researchers, policymakers and consumers. Openness as a matter of principle and practice may conflict with regulatory capture and with regulatory incapacity, in particular bureaucratic perceptions that ‘access’ to information involves inordinate administrative costs or inhibits the proper functioning of government. It is at odds with publishing practice that sees researchers in the North and South priced out of access. It more directly conflicts with traditional incentives for innovation through patent and other law providing investors with scope for egregious rent-seeking. That conflict is exacerbated by institutional cultures that emphasise commercialisation rather than ‘open science’. The presentation draws together practitioner regulation, intellectual property, freedom of information, confidentiality and contract law in exploring the scope for ‘open health’ as a basis for innovation in the emerging world of precision medicine and an agenda item for institutional reform.
Biography
Dr Bruce Baer Arnold teaches contract, intellectual property and innovation law at the University of Canberra.

Open Biology
Opening up Biology? Evolution, or Revolution, of a Discipline
Associate Professor Wendy Bonython (Bond University)
Abstract
The study and observation of the natural world has long been a feature of human development. For much of that time, such study and observation, and reporting of its findings, has been undertaken by curious – or even accidental – amateurs. The rise of the professional scientist is only a comparatively recent phenomenon.
Professionalisation of biology has been a mixed experience for the discipline. Formalisation of training and education of scientists has been accompanied by increasingly restricted dissemination of data, and rigorous protection of discovery, often enforced by law, in a way that is inconsistent with fundamental principles of scientific enquiry. For sub-disciplines with greater commercialisation potential, such as medicine and established biotechnologies, professionalisation, protection, and ‘closed’ access have become the standardised – and arguably sustainable – way of doing business. For other subdisciplines of biology with fewer immediately-discernible economic benefits, and basic biological research, funding is scarce, opportunities for return on investment are fewer, and engagement is more likely to be based on pure scientific curiosity, or even altruism, than profit. ‘Open biology’ models, accompanied by adequate, but potentially different, protection mechanisms may represent an alternative to the existing dominant model of closed knowledge and intellectual property protection.
Biography
Associate Professor Wendy Bonython is a cross-disciplinary researcher at Bond University. Her research interests include the law and ethics of health, medical, and scientific technology research and regulation.
Open Neuroscience
Open Innovation through Open Neuroscience, Open Science
Scott Kiel-Chisholm (QUT Faculty of Law)
Abstract
Traditionally, patents are sought to protect the outcomes of neuroscientific research. In 2016, the Montreal Neurological Institute (the Neuro) at McGill University in Montreal, Canada established the Tanenbaum Open Science Institute, the first open science institute in the world. This presentation explores the Neuro’s Open Science initiative – open data, open materials and no patenting – the unique vision that radically transformed the way the Neuro provides access to knowledge. This includes an investigation of the Neuro’s Open Science model and the research benefits sought with this alternative to proprietary models of protection under patent law.
