Creating new income streams
Open Innovation is creating new opportunities for organisations to generate income from intellectual assets. Commercialising IP portfolios through proactive business development, such as licensing innovations to other companies, means that unexploited inventions and ideas can be commercialised through joint ventures, spin offs and licensing arrangements.
Universities and the public sector: commercialising IP portfolios
For universities and public sector research organisations, IP assets are a means of creating new income streams and attracting commercial partners. This leads to wider public benefit from transferring technology via research partnerships, licensing of intellectual property or new venture creation.
