Cultivating Intellectual Property: A Lifecycle Approach

Authors

  • Senior Consultant TechPipeline

Summary

  • IP is a lifecycle: cultivate IP like a lifecycle, not a queue: Treat every stage—disclosure, assessment, marketing, negotiation, and post-license management—as an active engagement point, not a passive administrative step.
  • Engage early and assess by market, not just science: In tech transfer, good science is a given. Build relationships with researchers before disclosures arrive, and evaluate which technologies to pursue and protect by commercial potential rather than scientific interest alone.
  • Cultivate active licensee relationships. Build regular check-ins with licensees into your team’s work. Monitor milestone and royalty reporting to make sure commercialization stays on track.
