The Consumer Project on Technology (CP Tech) which began in 1995 focuses on issues concerning the production of and access to knowledge, including medical inventions, information and cultural goods, and other knowledge goods. Much of this work concerns intellectual property policy and practices, but there is some focus on the different approaches to the production of knowledge goods, including for example new business models that support creative individuals and communities, and new incentive systems for investments in medical and agricultural inventions, such as those involving prizes and/or competitive intermediaries.
