Dr. Graham Love:

I want to be very clear. I believe what I said yesterday is that all of the institutions have in place a set of functions - in some cases, separate offices - but certainly functions and committees to implement the national intellectual property policy in the institutes of technology and universities. There is a set of procedures that is engaged to make sure that if an individual researcher has a potential conflict of interest, they step out and are managed. Those processes, committees and in some cases, separate technology transfer functions are in place in higher education institutions.

What I did pick up yesterday and I would like to say here in the interests of fairness on this is that while we are aware those policies are in place, as yet we are not in a position to assure they are all being implemented exactly according to the way they are specified on that. We have taken that on board as something we should look at.
