Who are Fusion IP and what is the Fusion Agreement?
The University of Sheffield aims to make an impact on the wider world by turning its research into high-impact commercial applications for the benefit of our economy and society. 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. The Agreement enables Fusion IP to work with the University to commercialise University IP but is not intended to prevent the University from undertaking research activity where the funder may require access to, or ownership of, IP arising from the funded work.
The Agreement gives Fusion exclusive rights to commercialise IP emerging from research undertaken by the University where such IP is owned wholly or in part by the University. In return for these rights Fusion have raised money for investment in the University´s IP and have issued shares in Fusion to the University. A summary of the agreement between Fusion IP and the University of Sheffield is available to view.
Fusion IP plc is an AIM (Alternative Investment Market) listed company.
