From groundbreaking academic research and innovative incubator and accelerator programmes, to trade mark, 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 and wider higher education innovation efforts.
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 involved with the world of research and innovation in higher education – and the 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 higher education intellectual property (IP) and operational guidance you need to operate successfully in both developed and emerging economies.
Our higher education intellectual property team is ranked as the “go-to firm for heavyweight IP matters”. For more information about our intellectual property legal services in the sector and where digital innovation in higher education impacts your establishment, 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.
