Creating new income streams
Open Innovation is creating new opportunities for organisations to generate income from intellectual assets. We can help you achieve an edge over the competition by providing guidance and hands on practical help in developing business development strategies, identifying partners, prioritising targets, evaluating opportunities, and negotiating deals.
Universities and the public sector: maximising impact
For universities and public sector research organisations, IP assets are a means of creating new income streams and attracting commercial partners to demonstrate impact. We use our analytical strengths in understanding markets and patent landscapes, coupled with our global networks to help you:
- Identify and engage with potential licensees
- Identify partners to support joint research and translation funding applications
- Negotiate deal terms and the supporting legal agreements
Commercial organisations: out-sourced business development
We work with companies globally to assist with in- and out-licensing of core and non-core IP assets. We provide:
- Deep sector knowledge in technology fields where your IP assets may have applications outside of your core business fields i.e. taking opportunities from human health into animal health
- Hands on business development support to complement internal resources
- Expert knowledge of working with universities and other public sector research organisations to help you identify and access new technologies
- Resources to dispose of non-core IP assets through licensing or assignment
