Services Available from Fellow Members

   

The successful exploitation of intellectual property (IP) requires multi-disciplinary experience and skills – marketing, technological,  IP protective, legal, financial and general management.  All of these can be found amongst the Fellows of the Institute.

 

Fellows assist their clients by providing independent advice and information on most aspects of the development and commercialisation of technology and invention, and by implementing “inward” or “outward” licensing programmes.

Undertaking technical and market appraisals to assess the likelihood of success for new technologies, products and processes.

 

¨     New Opportunity Searches/Diversification

Carrying out searches for clients seeking new technologies, new products, processes or services available for commercialisation under a licence agreement – “inward” licensing.
