Wissensaustausch als Kernaufgabe der Universität / Geistiges Eigentum Wege und Mindeststandards des Wissensaustauschs Besondere Formen des Wissensaustauschs 1 Kooperationen 2 Privilegierte Partnerschaften 3 Ausgründungen Anreize – Beteiligungsmöglichkeiten Wissensaustausch als Kernaufgabe der Universität / Geistiges Eigentum Ein Ziel von Forschung ist es, gewonnene Erkenntnisse aus der Wissenschaft zum Wohle aller für die gesamte Gesellschaft nutzbar zu machen. Dementsprechend zählt neben Forschung und Lehre der Austausch von Wissen zu den gesetzlich verankerten Kernaufgaben der Universität (§ 2 Abs. 4 LHG). Unter den Begriff des Wissensaustauschs wird zum einen die Weitergabe und Erörterung von Wissen und Erkenntnissen unter Wissenschaftlern gefasst, zum anderen aber auch der Austausch und die Eröffnung von Wissen gegenüber anderen Partnern aus Wissenschaft, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft.

Der Wissensaustausch unterliegt bestimmten Regeln, die nachstehend niedergelegt sind. University Initiative. In today’s highly globalized knowledge driven economy, the innovation capacity of a nation is a critical indicator of its present and future economic health. Innovation is therefore seen as a sine qua non for national development. As such, governments and industries are investing heavily in research and development (R&D) activities so as to increase their innovation capacity and hence national competitiveness. As one of the primary sources of generation of new technologies (inventions), universities and R&D institutions (hereinafter referred to as “universities”) increasingly play a crucial role in the process of technological innovation, technology transfer and commercialization of intellectual property (IP) arising from research activities, which ultimately contribute to national economic, social and cultural development.

Consequently, universities have become an important segment of IP users and hence an important WIPO constituency. Objectives Establishment of IP infrastructure.

Intellectual asset management for universities - ipasset-management guide.pdf. New guide for Universities to manage Intellectual Property. Universities can now access a new tool to help develop and manage their intellectual assets.

The Intellectual Property Office (IPO) has today (19 May) launched a strategy guide called 'Intellectual Asset Management for Universities (1.78Mb)'. The new guide provides advice and information to universities to help them understand how they can best use their institution's Intellectual Property. This can be an invention, trade mark, original design or the application of a good idea. Income generated through the commercial use of Intellectual Property rights can be worth millions of pounds. Launching the guide, Minister for Intellectual Property Baroness Wilcox said: "The guide will help Universities maximise the benefits of their intellectual assets, which in turn will support the economic growth of the UK.

"It is now more important than ever for University leaders to think strategically about how to best to protect and effectively use their intellectual assets. The new guide.

UC Davis InnovationAccess licenses UC Davis technologies to transfer research to the market through our commercial partner for public benefit. Once You Disclose We look at a number of factors during the technology assessment process including: Inventorship Each inventor must make an intellectual contribution to at least one patent claim. Thus, persons who qualify as co-authors on a publication or public presentation, but served only to perform the directives of the true inventor(s), are not considered inventors. Inventorship is determined by a legal process conducted by an appointed patent attorney. Ownership/Joint Patents If inventors come from different institutions, the patent is jointly owned.

Alternatively, if one of the inventors is from a private company and assigns their rights to that company, then the company automatically has rights to exploit the patent. Available Rights We examine public disclosures of the invention to evaluate possible patent rights. Marketability Assessment.

IP in start-up

University as shareholder. Patent Baristas » What’s A Reasonable Royalty Rate? Among the most frequently asked questions I get from start-up companies is: How much should I pay for licensing in a technology? Answer: As little as possible. Kidding aside, this is really a very complicated question that cannot be answered without a lot of homework. While most companies seem to use a valuation method I like to call “pulling a number out of the air,” there are three primary methods used by licensing professionals to assess the value of IP assets. These are the Cost Method, Market Method and Income Method. With all of these methods, good data and data projection are critical in determining the appropriate numbers.

In the Cost Method, the value is the cost incurred in developing or purchasing the relevant technology or intellectual property. But what if, as a result of changing markets or new information, you determine that the present value of the total revenues/return expected from this technology is less that the cost? Very often, universities rely on the 25% Rule. Policy Uni Leipzig.

Southern Illinois: An Overview. Note: The following is an introduction to patents, copyrights, and technology transfer at SIU Carbondale.All faculty and staff should familiarize themselves with the university's Intellectual Property Policy, which is the legal document governing these issues at SIU Carbondale. What IP/tech transfer services does the university provide? SIU Carbondale's Technology Transfer Office (TTO) works with SIU Carbondale faculty and staff to protect their intellectual property and to transfer new technologies to the marketplace. The TTO can assist you in many ways. Our services include: What is intellectual property? Intellectual property refers to certain tangible and intangible products of University research and other activities—principally copyrightable works and patentable ideas or products. Patentable works include, but are not limited to, inventions/ products, processes, discoveries, materials, plant varieties, and sometimes computer software.

Setting Values and Royalty Rates for Medical and Life Science Businesses. By Howard G. Zaharoff Updated June 2012 A version of this article appeared in The Journal of Biolaw and Business, Vol. 7, No. 4, 2004 Abstract Founders and funders of medical and life sciences companies must often determine the value of particular technologies and establish appropriate royalty rates to charge for their use. Introduction Among the most frequently asked questions by founders of medical and life science companies are: How do we determine the value of our intellectual property, such as for purposes of potential sales and lending transactions?

Comprehensive answers to these questions are beyond the scope of this paper (though often within the expertise of licensing professionals). Valuing IP: Three Methods There are three primary methods used by licensing professionals to assess the value of intangible assets. Cost Method (or “Look Back” approach). Of course, as seller you may use the cost of development to argue for a particular price.

Income Method (or “Look Ahead” approach).
