IP Commercialisation

Commercial exploitation of Intellectual Property requires very careful planning, market analysis and evaluation of the various alternatives. Thereby, an important number of questions must be answered before making any decision to exploit an invention such as if an idea has commercial potential, whether or not an invention can be exploited at a profit and if there are potential buyers, which method of IP exploitation appears to be the most appropriate for an invention etc. In general, the following options are normally available for IP commercialisation.

* Selling IP Rights * Licensing IP Rights * Establishing joint ventures or collaborations * Creating Spin-offs.
