In Wilson and Gray the respective university intellectual property policies were held to be ineffective. The Federal Court therefore had to examine the default law concerning academic ownership of inventions. The trial judge in Wilson accepted that inventions that were a normal incident of the kind of research a particular academic was engaged to perform may belong to the employing university. However, French J and the Full Court in Gray emphasised that academic autonomy, duty to publish and freedom to collaborate with outsiders set academics apart. Employer ownership of inventions is therefore not to be implied into standard academic employment …

Two problems make it nearly impossible for a buyer of patent rights – either as an assignee or a licensee – to know if the title is clean. First, there is no single central registry where all economic rights to patents are stored and searched. Patent assignments and licenses may be recorded at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, merely as an option.

To remedy this …
