- Biotech Industry Organization
- http://www.bio.org/
- Generally strive for expansive IP law: http://bio.org/ip/
- BayBio: Northern California's Life Science Association
- http://www.baybio.org/wt/page/index
- aims to remove the double-check of product approvals between the FDA and California's Food and Drug branch
- Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA)
- http://www.phrma.org/
- Unsurprisingly, advocates long IP protection (http://tinyurl.com/dybgkd). Interestingly, seems to advocate narrow IP protection (http://www.innovation.org/index.cfm/InnovationToday/KeyIssues)
- New York Biotechnology Association
- http://www.nyba.org/
- Seems relatively quite within the IP debate, though opposes reforms that would make it more difficult for patent holders to sue generic drug makers (http://www.nyba.org/issues-initiative.php)
- Human Genome Organization (HUGO)
- http://www.hugo-international.org/
- Organization of scientists involved in genomic research
- Aims to encourage data-sharing
- Human Proteome Organization (HUPO)
- http://www.hupo.org/
- like HUPO, aims to foster international cooperation, data-sharing
