From ground-breaking academic research and innovative incubator and accelerator programmes to trademark, copyright and patent portfolios, a university’s intellectual property is one of its most important commercial assets. As a key market differentiator, it is critical that higher education institutions (HEIs) can identify, capture, license, monetise and protect their intellectual property.
With extensive experience and expertise in advising both universities and corporates looking to collaborate with the higher education sector, our lawyers have a unique insight into the challenges, needs and aspirations of our higher education (HE) clients.
Our extensive international expertise supported by our membership of Pangea Net – a trusted network of independent law firms spanning 28 jurisdictions – enables us to provide you with the necessary strategic Intellectual Property (IP) and operational advice and guidance you need to operate successfully in both developed and emerging economies.
Our intellectual property team is ranked as the “go to firm for heavyweight IP matters”. For more information about our intellectual property legal services for higher education please contact Selina Hinchliffe.
Our expert panel, comprised of IP and corporate law specialists, discuss IP commercialisation strategies, their benefits and pitfalls, drawing on experience across the private, public and higher education sectors.
