"We’re delighted to continue UC Berkeley’s longstanding tradition of adopting intellectual property management strategies that maximize the humanitarian impact of campus research," says Laleh Shayesteh, Director of Intellectual Property and Administration in the UC Berkeley Office of Technology Licensing. "By addressing affordable pricing and widespread access, these provisions motivate licensees to develop therapeutics born in Berkeley labs for distribution to underserved communities in the U.S. and around the world."

The template’s affordable access provision is substantively similar to that developed by the Medicines Patent Pool in collaboration with UCLA and UAEM.
