Maximising R&D outcomes from university labs

As a TTO or Commercial Team, the PIPE is where you can bring ALL your projects to stand the best opportunity of securing a positive outcome and impact….regardless of the project, stage of development or subject matter.

Technology Transfer Offices and commercialisation teams across the UK and Europe have several important challenges to deal with
Securely and discreetly Disclose & Validate ALL projects quickly

No matter what the project or its stage of preparedness to get real world reviews on impact

An easy to use process enables more disclosures from more researchers to be put forward, aligned with timelines to publish, supporting decision making, and simplifying the prioritisation process.
Putting projects on the right path whilst protecting IP

Determining the direction of travel is not always straightforward and simple.

Clear, well documented roadmaps are essential: based on evidence, supported by people who have been there before, know what they are doing and protected by systems and processes.
 
Commercialising and/or generating IMPACT fairly & equitably

A clear rationale for decision making, action, funding and equity early on is critical.

Proving and recording the contributions of individuals, teams, the university and the founders means that these positions are protected while attracting new investors.
Patient, timely and available capital of up to €2m

Ensuring there is a steady, reliable and timely source of capital

Capital must be aligned with the commercial, environmental and/or societal roadmaps and direction of travel; key milestones ensure goals are hit and progress is made.

    To patent or not to patent?

    One of the first steps in protecting IP that TTOs and commercial teams take is to consider the possibility of a patent registration.  However, this process is time consuming and costly.

    Researchers often want to progress the publication of findings quickly, whilst the TTO or commercial teams has an obligation to their University and the protection of IP where possible..


    In addition, many ideas and innovations can not be patented or should not be patented at such an early stage, and so there is a conflict between the researcher who may wish to go faster, the TTO or commercial team who wish to avoid risk and the understanding that future investors or commercial partners will require a patent.

    PIPE is designed to fix this.
