Technology transfer, which is the research and development result, whether carried out on the university premises or with the university participation, as a project partner, is a complex and demanding process in terms of legal, technical, administrative and economic.
The essence is the intellectual property identification with the potential to succeed, maintain and develop in the market or modify according to technological progress and societal needs.
We can help you to identify the intellectual property, design a suitable form of transfer and provide all necessary contracts and related documentation through professional activities provided by internal staff and external partners.
- is the most frequently used form of transfer in the university environment,
- we will provide you with legal advice in the preparation of contracts,
- we will consult with researchers and partners from practice on the impact of contractual conditions on the process of intellectual property protection, which is the result of contractual cooperation
- we will consult on the possibilities of implementing the achieved knowledge into the educational process and publishing activities of academic staff.
We will provide you with legal and economic advice on the method and form of licensing, including the determination of license fees.
Licensing is a form of transfer based on a contractual relationship where the licensor grants the licensee consent to use the subject of the license to a specified extent, in a specified territory, within a specified period and at a contractual price.
It is necessary to determine all these terms and conditions of the license agreement considering the subject of the license, the requirements of the partner and the requirements of the rights holder.
We will provide comprehensive support and service to research teams with the potential for further development of their research in the form of a spin-off by creating an independent legal entity that will develop and implement to practice its research topics and projects. The Spin-off can be fulfilled, with or without the ownership of university participation, which represents a monetary or non-monetary deposit in the form of an intellectual property deposit.
