21. Innovation in North Wales, 2016 Ffiseg Feddygol Gogledd Cymru North Wales Medical Physics Challenges Steep learning curve (planned 4 month project…) Wide gap between in-house and manufacture (Feb 12 – 1 st Unit Delivered to customer Feb 14) Guidance on cost estimates (e.g. cost for patent, trademark) – Think of a number and treble it! Time pressures and required staff commitment Obtaining expert advise: Legal, contractual (Limited in-house) Language (esp. IP)

22. Innovation in North Wales, 2016 Ffiseg Feddygol Gogledd Cymru North Wales Medical Physics So where are we now? Water filled Can a Health Board Sell a product? Contracts Who can help with that? What language is that? Trademark Do we need to consider Insurance? Patent Manufacturer Time 10 CelT
