IP Support for Collaboration Projects

Collaborating with other companies is a great way to share knowledge and develop new technology. 

However, if not contracted for and managed carefully these technology projects can cause IP leakage and also increase the risk of IP infringement issues down the line.

We can assist with:

· Identifying potential collaboration partners

· Appropriate NDA coverage for pre-project discussions

· Devising appropriate principles for the project IP

· Drafting of IP contract terms

· Negotiating IP terms with collaboration partners

· IP awareness training for the project team

· Pro-active IP capture

· Ongoing IP risk assessment matched to commercial exploitation strategies, and

· Pragmatic IP advice and support
