Who you are

University & Research Institution

How does research leave the lab as something ownable?

Institutions generate more protectable output than almost anyone and commercialise the least of it. The gap is rarely the science — it is that nobody mapped what exists, who owns it under the funding terms, and which pieces a licensee would actually pay for.

Why businesses like yours call us

  • Output is scattered across departments — with no single inventory
  • Ownership depends on the funding instrument — and is often never read
  • Technology transfer needs clean rights — before a licensee will engage

Where to start

  • Entry product — IP Position Audit
  • One firm throughout — you are not handed to another firm at the next rung.
Fee — scoped to your business, quoted in writing before you commit. No rate card, no hourly meter: the number you agree to is the number you pay.
