 Biodiversity Sustainability of Phytomedicine Research: a 3-dimensions analysis around the North-South dividePost-Print from HAL Abstract: The intellectual property (IP) rights connected with the use of medicinal plants have been debated worldwide considered as bio-piracy by one group, whereas others argue that it sustains inclusive innovation and public health. While the debate is still going on, no one's have assessed in the scientific literature or elsewhere, the output of the research and the extend of patent protection in phytomedicine, to get an understanding of the market organization, and relationships between firms and academia across North-South divide. In order to contribute to the debate, we undertook a 3-dimensions analysis with various Science and Technology Indicators (STI) to analyze the biodiversity distribution, the research trends on medicinal plants, the patent landscaping and the competitive positioning of economic agents. Research on phytomedicine has undergone a tremendous increase followed by an accelerated worldwide patent protection strategy. It is sustained by an active academic research led by BRICS countries. But, only China seems to successfully translate research discoveries in protected inventions by implementing Triple Helix model of innovation system. This mapping is improving the overall transparency of phytomedicine IP rights to researchers, policy-markers and the civil society. Furthermore, theses results will provide technology transfer strategic information for the academic research and foster successful open innovation partnership model.
