The base technology remains the property of whoever the patent belongs to.
All those who agree to the same terms of sharing obtain access to
improvements, and other information (such as regulatory and biosafety data).


To maintain legal access to the technology, you must agree not to prevent
others who have agreed to the same terms from using the technology and any
improvements in the development of different products.

Both products and improvements can still be patented, and products and
services can be developed for profit or for public good, but licensees and
those who have used the technology under BiOS agreements may not assert
rights to exclude from use of improvements, even patented improvements,
against the licensor and other licensees within the protected commons.

Does this answer your question?
