Impact Innovation IP
IP Expert NZ made this Official Information request to Callaghan Innovation
The request was partially successful.
From: IP Expert NZ
Dear Callaghan Innovation,
I am an IP practitioner and recently lost a client because of the Innovation IP program of Callaghan.
I am worried about the (unintended?) negative impact of the Innovation IP program might have on my business, since it is only offered by three providers (EverEdgeIP Global Limited, Intellectus IP, a division of Potter IP, MAINly Consulting Limited in association with IKB Consulting).
Please provide me with the following:
1) A summary of the total number of businesses that have received financial support as part of the Innovation IP program since inception (split out per provider if possible).
2) The total financial amount of support provided since inception (split out per provider if possible).
3) A list of all the businesses that have received support as part of Innovation IP since inception (split out per provider if possible).
Yours faithfully,
IP Expert NZ

Dear Ministerial Services,
I am a New Zealand citizen representing a New Zealand based company and therefore entitled to the information requested. I would prefer not to be known by name at this stage.
I would like to request Callaghan Innovation once again to answer my questions. It could be perceived Callaghan Innovation is trying to withhold the requested information without a reason specified.
The answers to my questions seem to be straight forward and not to justify withholding, as per Section 6 of the Official Information Act.
I am happy to send the same questions to the chief Ombudsman and my MP but need to understand the reason Callaghan Innovation is not willing to answer before doing so.
Yours sincerely,
IP Expert NZ

Thank Sir/Madam
We were just trying to ascertain if you are entitled to the information under Section 12 of the OIA Act.
We have at no time suggested we are withholding any information. You will hear from us in due course.

Dear IP Expert
The response to your Official Information Act request was due to you
yesterday. Unfortunately it has been held up by internal processes that
have taken longer than expected.

soon as possible. My apologies for the delay.

Dear Ministerial Services,
Thank you for answering part of my questions. Unfortunately you seem not to have answered my questions completely.
I asked for the financial support provided by Callaghan, since the inception of the program, split per provider (i.e. how much money has been paid by Callaghan to the listed businesses, so they can pay the three providers).
You answered the question quite specific with a total amount ($769,612 ex GST) and provided a complete list of businesses supported by this amount broken down per provider (question 3).
It seems unlikely that you cannot provide the total amount broken down per provider. I would like to ask you (again) to provide the requested break-down per provider.
You should know how much was paid to every business . All one need to do is group these amounts per provider, rather than providing a grant total. Alternatively, please provide the amounts per business supported, totaling the $769,612 ex GST.
Yours sincerely,
IP Expert NZ

Good afternoon IP Expert NZ
I refer to your request for further information in regards to the answer
to question two (below). However, due to extenuating circumstances, it is
taking longer than initially anticipated but Callaghan Innovation does
intend to respond to your additional question. I apologise for the delay
in notifying you.

Good afternoon IP Expert NZ
I wrote to you regarding your request for further information in regards
to question two (below). We do still intend to respond to you, but due to
the pressures of other work commitments there has been a further delay.
As allowed under section 15(A) the Official Information Act 1982, the
time to respond to your follow-up request has been extended. It is
required because the request is for a large quantity of official
information and meeting the original time limit would unreasonably
interfere with the operations of Callaghan Innovation. We intend to
respond to your question by 26 August 2016, earlier if possible.
You have the right under section 28(3) of the Official Information Act to
seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of our decision to
extend the time limit for responding to your request at
[1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or by telephoning 0800 802 602.

Dear Ministerial Services,
I am seriously concerned about the fact that this request is still not answered.
I has been opened since June 12 and it might be perceived that Callaghan has no intention to answer, looking at the time line:
- June 12th : question raised.
- June 13th : first reply from Callaghan questioning if I was a NZ citizen.
- July 12th : a note that the deadline was missed due to 'internal processes'
- July 14th : an incomplete answer to the questions was provided
- August 02nd : Callaghan claims 'extenuating circumstances', without providing details or a expected date
- August 12th : Callaghan claims 'pressures of other work commitments' as a reason for further delays.
Please confirm receipt of this message and share it with the CEO - who should be aware of his obligations under the Official Information Act (http://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/publi...).
I will raise this with the Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment and the Ombudsman.
Yours sincerely,
IP Expert NZ

Callaghan Innovation
Good morning IP Expert NZ
Thank you for your email received on 14 July 2016 regarding the Official
Information Act (OIA) response you received regarding Callaghan
Innovation’s Innovation IP® programme. As the request was for further
information, it was treated as a new OIA request, so consequently an
additional 20 working days to respond was applied. On 12 August you were
notified that the further information you were seeking was taking longer
to collate, and that an extension would apply.
The exercise of collating and reviewing the financial information was more
onerous and difficult than we expected. Callaghan Innovation also
undertook consultation with the three pilot Innovation IP providers
regarding the release of any detailed financial information. Both have
taken a considerable amount of time.
You were provided with the total financial amount of support provided
since inception in our response of 14 July 2016. Your request for the
total amount to be split per provider is withheld under section
9(2)(b)(ii) of the OIA, because supplying details of the financial support
provided by Callaghan Innovation either directly or indirectly to a
provider, would be likely unreasonably to prejudice the commercial
position of the provider.
Under section 9(1) of the Act I do not consider that the withholding of
this information is outweighed by public interest considerations in making
the information available.
I apologise that this reasoning was not conveyed to you in the original
response, which may have avoided the follow up question you have made, and
the time taken to answer it properly. I acknowledge that you will not be
happy with this response, I have also forwarded your email of 16 August to
the requested personnel.
You have the right to request a review of this response by the Ombudsman
at [1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or by telephoning 0800 802 602.
I hope this clarifies your request. However, please contact
[2][email address] if you require any
further information.
Yours sincerely
