Question on Innvation IP article NBR

IP Expert NZ made this Official Information request to Callaghan Innovation

The request was partially successful.

From: IP Expert NZ

Dear Callaghan Innovation,

Callaghan Innovation has provided an article to the NBR about the Innovation IP programme (https://www.nbr.co.nz/article/callaghan-...).

This raised some questions with me, which I hope you can clarify.

1) The article mentions that a review of the Innovation IP programme has been conducted. Please share the review and its conclusions.

2) Please provide a statement on the scope of services AJ Park, Catalyst Intellectual and Potter IP. Why was more than $150K spend with these providers without a RFP?

“Of the suppliers in the Innovation IP programme, Callaghan has used service in 2015 and 2016 financial years from AJ Park, Catalyst Intellectual and Potter IP totaling $4000, $132,000 and $18,300 respectively.?

3) Furthermore, Callaghan provided me with a formal response on the 14th of July 2016 to my OIA specifying how much was spend on the Innovation Programme. The response contradicts the figures mentioned in the NBR. Please explain the difference and rectify either the response or the article.

“As at 31 May 2016 the total financial amount of support provided since the programme’s inception is $769,612 excluding GST.”

4) Please also remove me from any unsolicited PR mailings, like the one sent out on December 15 2015.

Yours faithfully,

IP Expert NZ
