Commercializing UNH’s intellectual assets (like intellectual property developed through 研究 activity) is one of the main points in UNH's strategic plan, 是联合国创新署的优先事项. 在UNHI, the main goal of the Intellectual Asset Management team is to help get UNH-derived ideas out into the world and maximize their social and economicimpact by focusing on use rather than financial return. The university’s over $100 million 研究 portfolio creates positive institutional and social change and helps cement UNH as a world-class 研究 institution and economic engine. Our commercialization efforts protect and disseminate the hard work and years of 研究 conducted by faculty, 工作人员, 和学生, 是什么吸引了新的研究伙伴和资助渠道.

研究

Observations made and experiments conducted as part of a 研究 program often lead to discoveries and innovations that can have significant value to larger audiences, 包括商业价值. 在许多情况下,多个研究人员可能对创新做出了贡献

One of your first opportunities to contact UNHI is during (or even before) the initial phase of your 研究 endeavor. You will be assigned a licensing manager from UNHI who will provide guidance on best practices for protecting your 研究 and will start to lay the foundation for potential commercialization.

信息披露

Submitting a disclosure of your innovation to UNHI is the first formal step in obtaining proper IP protection and commercializing your innovation. You are strongly encouraged to submit innovation disclosures early in the development process to avoid any potential problems.

创新资料披露表格
The 创新 信息披露 Form (IDF) is a written notice to UNHI that you have an innovation.  It is a confidential document that should fully describe your innovation so that UNHI can begin an assessment. 如果你打算通过出版物来展示你的创新, 海报会议, 会议, 新闻稿, 或其他公共传播, 你应该提前完成IDF. There are separate forms for disclosing inventions, 版权, software, 和商标. 我们可以帮助您填写正确的表格. 点击这里开始披露过程

评估

创新 assessment is the period in which you and your UNHI licensing manager review 创新 disclosure, 查找有冲突的专利或商标(如适用), and analyze the market and competitive landscape to determine 创新’s commercialization potential. This evaluation process will guide UNHI’s strategy for how best to protect and commercialize your innovation. 商业化 may result in licensing 创新 to an existing company or creating a new business.

保护

保护知识产权创造者的权利是联合国知识产权研究所的一项高度优先事项. 常见的知识产权保护方法包括专利, 版权, 和商标, 但也可以包括合同使用限制(如.g.,查阅资料库及资料). IP protection may not always be possible or necessary, and the legal costs may outweigh the benefits. We will work with you to determine the best course of action during 创新 assessment. The managing director of UNHI makes the final decision as to whether to file a patent or 商标 application or seek another form of protection.

市场营销

UNHI追求将您的想法推向市场的主要途径有两个:

  1. 帮助您创建自己的公司,并将UNH的创新授权给公司
  2. 寻找第三方被许可方

创建自己的公司并授权创新
With some innovations, an entirely new business might create the greatest opportunities. UNHI can connect you to other innovators and entrepreneurs with experience in start-up formation and guide you through the process of planning and funding your new business.

寻找第三方被许可人
有你的参与, 近东救济工程处可以寻找具有专门知识的候选组织, 资源, 和商业网络,把你的创新推向市场. 每项创新都可能处于不同的发展阶段, 在你的帮助下, UNHI identifies existing opportunities in the marketplace where your innovation might be a good fit. 如果有人对创新感兴趣, UNHI will begin negotiations to enter into a licensing agreement with the third party. 有时是扩展许可, 比如开源或知识共享, 是合适的, but many times the public is better served through traditional fee- and/or royalty-bearing licenses with a third party.

许可

Once a licensee has been identified, UNHI will negotiate and complete the license agreements. 许可协议是知识产权所有者与另一方之间的正式合同. The owner grants permission to use that IP, usually for a specific period and objective. 不管创新如何, there are standard terms included in each license agreement to protect the interests of the innovator, 创新, 该机构, 和联邦政府(如适用). UNHI will work with you in the development of an appropriate commercialization strategy for 创新 and negotiate the terms of the agreement with the licensee. UNHI还将在其整个生命周期内管理UNHI的许可协议, including collecting license deliverables such as licensee commercialization reports and payments.
