Technology Transfer and Brokerage

Best practices in Technology Transfer (TT) do not only include the actual transfer or licensing of Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) and/or knowledge from one party to another. It already starts with the identification of valuable technologies and the choice of the adequate protection measurement, followed by setting up commercialisation, licensing, selling and/or collaboration strategies before initiating a subsequent search for licensing, acquisition or collaboration partners. The negotiation and conclusion of the final IP transfer and licensing contracts as well as the audit of such agreements are then the valuable outcomes of an entire tech transfer value chain.
