90 minutes (+up to 30 minutes of additional Q&A time at the end)
Online (please note the session will be recorded)
Work done by university staff and students often involves creation and use of intellectual property (IP). While IP is a non-physical kind of property, it can be bought and sold and if it is useful in goods/services, its financial value can be significant. Proper handling of IP matters improves the prospects for:
– achieving impact from the results of research/innovation projects; and
– generating income for SHU and for IP creators.
SHU also has obligations to handle IP matters properly, those obligations including ones that arise from:
– IP-related law
– charity law and associated regulations
– SHU’s Articles of Government, regulations and policies
– contracts with funders, collaborators, clients etc.
This interactive session is intended primarily for SHU staff involved in research and innovation activity (current or planned). Following a brief introduction to the basics of what IP is and how it can be protected, the agenda will move on to areas that feature prominently among IP and commercialisation enquiries raised with Innovation Services.
Presenters: Jim Walsh (Head of IP and Commercialisation, SHU), Neil Bowden (Innovation Funding Manager, SHU), Mark Hoggins (director and patent attorney, Symbiosis IP).
