For an activity to be a core R&D activity, a competent professional cannot know or determine the outcome of the activity based on current knowledge anywhere in the world. The outcome needs to be one that you can determine only by applying a systematic progression of work, based on principles of established science.

We expect you to search worldwide for an existing way to achieve your outcome before you start your R&D activity. We expect your records to show you did this.

We e

  • cannot know or determine the outcome of the core R&D activity without an experiment as part of a systematic progression of work; and

  • cannot know or determine the outcome based on knowledge, information or experience that is publicly available or reasonably accessible, anywhere in the world.
