| The process by which a discovery is transformed into an invention implicates a team of different experts (scientists, lawyers, managers) whose goal is ?to create profit from an idea? (Bazerman, 1999: 90). This profit will result from the adequate commercial exploitation of a patent. Nevertheless, the whole patenting process is imbued with uncertainty or fluidity (Bauman 2000: 2-3): the original draft of the patent might be rejected by the patent examiners; the granted patent might be contested before a court; the competitors may find a way to engineer around the granted patent; etc. This paper will use Berkenkotter & Huckin?s sociocognitive frame (1993) to analyse the transformation of scientific knowledge (research) into commercially viable intellectual property (patents). Myers (1995) has already explored the difficulties that two experienced researchers had when trying to apply for their first patent. I will describe here the mediation that goes between the different experts involved in transforming research into a patent and how this mediation is aimed at diminishing the uncertainties of the process to the greatest feasible extent. | |
