Mac: focus on technology of kits
(first look at developmental process, then we will analyze access to the kit)
- What is a diagnostic kit?
- Where are kits sold, to whom, for what?
- Diagnose a disease; predict a disease; Direct-to-Consumer kits
- What are the inputs needed to develop a kit?
- What is the development process / value chain that leads to a clinical diagnostic kit?
- Aare there commons-based models active anywhere along the kit development pipeline (w/ andrew)
Andrew talks about patents
Andrew there Thurs & Fri: Just enumerating the patents that might pertain to diagnostics is hard:
- multiple databases
- classification scheme for scope of protection
- Carol: "we know duke team behind oft-used duke patent database; we can get in touch with them"
