An ever more important requirement for academic institutions is to commercialise the intellectual property which arises from their research and day to day development of learning materials and content.
With our extensive experience of acting as lead advisors on the buying, selling and establishment of commercial enterprises we are very well placed to help our public sector clients negotiate this complex area.
Typically we help to assess the true commercial worth of a piece of intellectual property and advise on how it can be best realised through licence, joint venture, spin out or maintenance in house.
We can also use our experience in the market to find interested 3rd parties and, if required, investors and other sources of funding.
Our work has included:
- Advising on process and methodology to identify and manage commercialisations and spin outs
- Feasibility studies and proof of concept exercises
- Market research and route to market identification
- Managing individual spin out projects
- Managing the set up of commercial joint ventures
- Finance raising for spin outs and commercial enterprises
- Financial due diligence on spin outs and commercial joint ventures
