Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) has stimulated urgent innovative responses to tackle the current crisis and unveil new trajectories enabling recovery as early as possible. In the quest for solutions to the pandemic, organizations have been forced to join efforts with an unprecedented number of different stakeholders, including competitors, rising new appropriation-related challenges. To ease these issues and facilitate collaborative efforts, some initiatives have come into being to encourage the release of Intellectual Property (IP) rights to unlock new possibilities from their use and possibly foster the collective innovation process. The Open COVID Pledge (OCP) stands out as the most visible project that has gained momentum at the international level, as it has increasingly involved well-known top-patenting companies, willing to publicly commit to making their IP relevant to COVID-19 freely available. Drawing from all the available information (the World Wide Web, the participating companies' press releases and official websites, and the documents of pledged patents), we propose a research design, applying a semantic method to allow an augmented understanding of the main characteristics of this pledge. Our findings point out that the OCP has got a great media resonance on the overall web, also thanks to the commitment of large top-patenting pledgors; results also show that while the official communications of the participant companies resemble very much the general OCP Manifesto of providing free access to their patent portfolio, the semantic analysis of the pledged patents unveils details on available technologies that mostly refer to the real-time search and analysis of information and devices for the detection of the diffusion of the virus. Overall, this analysis contributes to providing contextual information on the available IP, towards the desired direction of putting the pledge to work and have an impact on follow-on innovation, which represents the underlying rationale of the initiative in the fight against COVID-19.

探索抗击 COVID-19 的公开 COVID 承诺:宣言、承诺人和特色专利的语义分析

冠状病毒病 19 (COVID-19) 激发了紧急的创新反应,以应对当前的危机,并揭示能够尽早恢复的新轨迹。在寻求解决这一流行病的过程中,组织被迫与包括竞争对手在内的空前数量的不同利益相关者共同努力,从而应对与拨款相关的新挑战。为了缓解这些问题并促进协作努力,一些举措已经形成,以鼓励释放知识产权 (IP) 权利,以释放其使用的新可能性,并可能促进集体创新过程。Open COVID Pledge (OCP) 是在国际层面获得动力的最引人注目的项目,因为它越来越多地涉及知名的顶级专利公司,愿意公开承诺免费提供与 COVID-19 相关的知识产权。从所有可用信息(万维网、参与公司的新闻稿和官方网站,以及质押的专利文件)中,我们提出了一个研究设计,应用语义方法来增强对主要特征的理解这个承诺。我们的调查结果指出,OCP 在整个网络上获得了巨大的媒体共鸣,这也得益于大型顶级专利质押者的承诺;结果还表明,虽然参与公司的官方通信与提供免费访问其专利组合的一般 OCP 宣言非常相似,对质押专利的语义分析揭示了可用技术的详细信息,这些技术主要是指实时搜索和分析用于检测病毒传播的信息和设备。总体而言,该分析有助于提供有关可用知识产权的背景信息,朝着实现承诺的预期方向发展,并对后续创新产生影响,这代表了抗击 COVID-19 倡议的基本原理。
