Name: Stephen Song on May 26, 2009Comments: Open innovation can be as big an economic and investment driver as any attempt to restrict (in the name of protection) access to South African intellectual property. South Africa needs policies that reflect a spectrum of IP strategies to boost innovation.Flag

Name: David Robert Lewis on May 26, 2009Comments: Its not sufficient for the South African executive to refrain from banning all academic freedom, its constitutionally obliged to positively promote that freedom: Section 7 of the SA Bill of Rights provides; (2) The state must respect, protect, promote and fulfil the rights in the Bill of Rights. Thus the Department and Minsiter of Science and Technology is obliged to promote academic freedom, which this subordinate regulation does not do.Flag

Name: Anonymous on May 27, 2009Comments: the only major issue to me is: • The Regulations provide for intrusive and invasive march-in rights, through which the Department can retroactively reverse decisions made by the universities, threatening that uncertainty will be the dominant mood of South African research. This is unacceptableFlag
