Intellectual Property (IP) Commercialization Options in R&D Context
Bringing knowledge and IP to the market. How? Very simplified approach – there are three main options:
Assignment of IP; Licensing IP; Establishment of spin – off or startup.
Publications, patent information, Internet……
There is no Model that Fits All ! Variety of existing models: “American” – strong position on institutional IP ownership, licensing; UK ; “French” – Regional Centers; IP Hubs – ASEAN Region; “Professor's Privilege” and “Creation for Users” – Sweden; Australian Technology Network – Harmonized IP Policies for easier commercialization; Intel Science and Technology Centers (ISTCs) – Open Source.
Different context and level of development inside the same country, income group, region and continent. Surveys done in certain countries showed significantly
different results for (47 – 50%) of interviewed selected institutions regarding existing IP related infrastructure – IP policy, professional knowledge and technology management units, IP commercialization experience etc.

IP Commercialization and IP Protection
Statistics show that there is globally an incising trend of using IP by universities and PRO.
There is also increasing influence of university research results and IP on breakthrough technologies – such as 3 D printing;
PCT - Often in collaboration with businesses and other academic institutions – co - applicants in particular for PCT applications;
Universities have increasing number of partners in PCT applications, however, PROs are leading by the number of filings with co – applicants and by the number of applications entering national phase.
