IP Commercialisation Committee

The IP Commercialisation Committee provides best practice guidance, based on contact with industrial and academic communities, in relation to the commercialisation of intellectual property with a view to providing a resource with professional and practical experience of intellectual property to inform, assist, review and contribute to such commercialisation with a view to strengthening the provision of robust and well-informed advice relating to commercialisation in the field intellectual property, in particular patents. This work will be carried out in co-operation with other Institute committees where appropriate.

Relevant areas could include the licensing or assignment of intellectual property, as well as other areas relevant to intellectual property policy, including:

• Providing assistance in a basic grounding in the basic law and commercial application of intellectual property for patent attorneys to assist those carrying out, or considering, commercialisation in the intellectual property field.
• Providing assistance in a basic grounding in licensing
• Researching the needs of different IP Rights holders (e.g. industry and academic) for commercialisation
• Researching different funding streams for the commercialisation of IP
• Educating patent attorneys how intangible ideas can be commercialised
