- Participants must effectively manage intellectual property within their project, especially in collaborative projects.
- Why ? Because even though research collaboration lead to lower R&D expenses and risks, it can lead to disagreements in terms of results ownership, use and even misappropriation, if no steps are taken to protect IP.
- In this respect, a proper management of IP enhances the chances of an effective exploitation of the research results.
Consider Intellectual Property
- Why ? To make sure that a suitable strategy and management is implemented
- It has a special importance at the proposal stage (we will see it in the presentation on “Handling IP in the proposal stage”)
- Furthermore, it has an importance when describing the consortium as a whole and how each partner will complement each other
- This should include information on the skills of each partner to deal with IP ( for example: by having in-house personnel with experience in the field could be seen positively by the evaluation team)
- IP has to be considered when describing the measures for exploiting the results.
- IP rules are part of a single set of rules detailed in the official “Rules of Participation”.
- Changes and specifications with regard to terminology : “foreground” ☞ “results”.
