Commercialising research outputs

The pages in this section provide a guide to the support offered by R&IS to staff wishing to protect, exploit or commercialise ideas and intellectual property created during the course of their research and research-related activities.

The Commercialisation Section provide advice and guidance in respect of commercial opportunities assessment and intellectual property as it relates to the exploitation of inventions and ideas and are responsible for the delivery of University-wide functions relating to the commercialisation of the University's intellectual property, including the University's Commercialisation Assessment System (CAS), patents, licensing administration and evaluation of projects to assess suitability for commercial exploitation.

In order to help maximise the commercialisation of IP arising from our ideas and inventions through licensing opportunities and the creation of spin out companies, the University has entered into a partnership with Fusion IP.
