Intellectual Property plays a key part in securing R&D grant funding (e.g. demonstrating work-to-date) and is a critical element of the outputs of grant funded R&D projects (what IP is created during the project). There are a myriad of ways to protect your IP, whether your business is set for high-growth or if your research organisation is seeking to licence new deep-tech research.
Collaborative R&D grant funded projects in particular present interesting challenges around IP. When 5 – 30 different organisations form a consortium to undertake a collaborative R&D project, who brings what IP and who will own the IP generated during the project, is always a discussion point.
Venturenomix has partnered with specialist IP firm Potter Clarkson to help your business, university, NGO or consortium navigate the R&D funding landscape with respect to IP.
