Protection of Your Research Results by Smart IP Management

Intellectual Property (IP) in its various forms – patents, know-how, copyrights, design rights, trademarks etc. - needs to be protected to ensure full exploitation of its commercial potential. At the same time commercialisation bears many risks which need to be identified and analysed beforehand. When it comes to transferring IP rights through licensing further pitfalls are waiting along this process: exclusivity, payments and warranties are only some of the issues to consider.

• Which is the most promising way to pursue when commercialising IP
• How to successfully develop an IP strategy and your IP portfolio
• What needs to be taken into account in regards to licensing
• What is the industry’s perspective on cooperation with universities and research entities
• Which are practical tools for assessing the value of your IP

• How to communicate with researchers involved most effectively
• Which risks are to expect when commercialising IP and how to address them
