Briefing note on access oriented technology licensing

January 21, 2025

The briefing note on access-oriented technology licensing, developed by UNDP and WHO, provides a comprehensive overview of approaches to enhance access to health technologies through innovative licensing practices. It discusses priorities that negotiators and drafters should address. The note also examines previously negotiated licenses and offers practical insights into the types and content of provisions that should be included.

This briefing note is designed for all stakeholders engaged in the licensing process, including government policymakers, the private sector, patent pools, and advocates for access to health technologies, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.
