Technology Transfer : A bridge between two worls Human knowledge and ideas coming from academic structure :  Generate innovation, economic value and employement

Researchers have to : Build international projects Produce paper (Publication vs patent) Go ahead on research Coordinate research program…  Not always available to transfer their work!  TT takes times and is sometimes percieved as a loose of time! Scientists and TTO collaboration

Tenology Transfer officers has : To save time To develop networking To support scientists on contracts To manage and project follow-up To protect knwoledge thanks to IP  Valorizate researcher works and used the appropriate processus  Guide researcher to Industrial world Scientists and TTO collaboration

Work package 4 - Implementation phase : PRO integration to innovation chain WP4-1 : Select and secure innovation (IUP aspects) Prottec outputs: 2 delivrables 1.An complete IP Guide describing each tool 2.Some flyers – posters to dissiminate in laboratory Prottec Context

Intellectual property : an essential tool for research organisation: To protect scientific and technological heritage of the organisation To preserve the rights of its inventors To organize the diffusion and the commercial exploitation trought Technology transfer To encourage companies to develop new products IP Guide

Sensiblisation of scientists and PhD Improved best practices in laboratory Optimised valorisation of research ressources 3 axes : 1.Focus on patent 2.Alternative tools to a patent 3.Forsee daily the protection of the research results

IP Guide What do we want to protect? Process Product Trademarks Data bases Application domain Software Which tool have to be used ? Patent Alternative tool to a patent Trade secret Know-how Copyrights Databases Trademarks Software
