Dear Callaghan Innovation,

This is a request for official information pursuant to the Official
Information Act 1982, as follows.

1. Please share any information Callaghan Innovation has relevant to
support or justify a need to provide the Innovation IP programme,
“Innovation IP Services” or a similar programme next year.

2. Please advise whether this information has not been made publically
available, and if not why not?

3. Does Callaghan Innovation have any information on any specific
intellectual property services that New Zealand businesses may benefit
from but are not being accessed by New Zealand businesses? If so, why
has this information not been made publicly available?

4. Please outline any work performed and information gathered by
Callaghan Innovation to assess what Intellectual Property related
services already exist in the New Zealand market and how well these
services are being accessed by businesses.

5. Does the Innovation IP programme involve Callaghan Innovation
selecting Intellectual Property service providers to provide services to
New Zealand businesses with those services being co-funded by Callaghan
Innovation? If so, please explain how Callaghan Innovation is qualified
in the interests of New Zealand businesses to select a restricted group
of IP service providers from a wider group of IP service providers that
may apply to be included in the programme?

6. Has Callaghan Innovation held, at any time, information identifying
specific intellectual property related services that may be needed by
New Zealand businesses, to support the Innovation IP programme or a
similar programme next year being needed? If so, has this information
been published, and if not why not?

7. Has Callaghan Innovation made a decision on whether or not it should
offer financial support through the Innovation IP programme or similar
programme next year if intellectual property service providers in New
Zealand offer equivalent services in competition to the programme,
whether before the programme next year commences or afterwards? If so,
please share the decision.

8. Has Callaghan Innovation already engaged with any Intellectual
Property providers to design the programme proposed for next year? If
so, please identify these service providers.

Yours faithfully,

Simon Waalkens
