Transfer
Protect, transfer and exploit research results.
We advise universities, research institutions, spin-offs and industry partners on patent strategy, chains of title, contracts and exploitation models.
Chains of title and confidentiality
Before publication or collaboration, it should be clear who owns which rights, which information must remain confidential and which inventions may be filed.
Collaboration and funding
We review IP clauses in collaboration, development and funding projects so publication interests, patent strategy and later exploitation fit together.
Licensing and spin-offs
For a reliable transfer, licensing model, assignment, equity, scope of protection and due diligence requirements should be aligned early.
Typical clients
Universities, research institutions, transfer offices, founder teams, technology SMEs and industry partners in joint R&D projects.
Common questions
Critical issues include chains of title, confidentiality, publication timing, invention reports, collaboration agreements and later licensing or spin-off structures.
Ideally before project start or at least before publication, funding applications, collaboration, licensing talks or spin-off formation.
