Patents to foster development
Every innovation springs from a passion for research. Protecting it with a patent, or with other intellectual property rights, offers a competitive advantage to partners who decide to invest in its development. Patented innovations offer partners:
- Knowledge and Expertise: every patented innovation stems from years of study and scientific insights by researchers
- Rights: protecting the intellectual property of patented innovations offers opportunities for exclusive commercial exploitation
- Application: concrete application areas have already been identified for patented research results, and these can be tailored to the specific needs of partners and/or extended to new contexts
