Innovation Review report released

The Report on the Review of the National Innovation System was released on 9 September 2008.

There are a number of recommendations relevant to intellectual property, mainly in Chapter 7.

The report, however, has not been released under a Creative Commons licence.

In its media release announcing the report, the government says it will respond to the recommendations in the report by the end of 2008.
