Technical and
scientific knowledge transfer*
Implementing innovative ideas
successfully requires partnering between research
sources and their industrial exploitation processes. By ensuring ideas
are not
lost, the fruits of the innovation may be capitalised upon by both
parties.
Steps to realisation
The pre-mission
audit and frank and open interviews with all parties establish a contact which allows free and open communication, concerning both the
substance of the invention or the idea and, the motivations and
ambitions behind its successful industrialisation. Efficient coordination is then possible
between the players in the knowledge transfer chain. It is at this
point that it may also be advisable to include a patent attourney in
the decision-making processes, thus ensuring maximum benefits from the
capitalisation of the ideas on top of their industrial realisation.
Benefits
Capitalisation
on licensing and rental of intellectual property can be a very
lucrative source of income for both the research laboratories and their
industrial partners. Also, successful mediation
between the scientific experts and the industrial users of a new
technology can generate new sources of funding for research.
