Best Practices for IPR and Technology Transfer in Nanotechnology Developments
The Nano2Market project aims to develop and provide guidelines for technology transfer, rules for IPR and license agreements and license models in nanotechnology development projects. To achieve these objectives the project team is constructing value chains of the transfer of each technology, and aims to analyses specific representative applications of the different areas of the nanotechnology R&D European strategy: medical applications, information technologies, energy, materials, manufacturing, instrumentation, food, environment and security. The objective is to classify the technology application areas of nanotechnologies into different clusters according to: development cost, time-to-market, complexity of licensing, etc.. In parallel, the actual and forthcoming market will be mapped and analysed according to competitiveness, geographical area, development potential, risks, etc.. Specific data mining tools will help to conclude the key worldwide actors of development and commercialisation of the different technologies. Actual IPR cultures and technology transfer rules will be listed according to the features of their market and technology; matching thee IPR and technology transfer models with the concluded value chains and market and technology maps will result in the recommendation of best practice business models and efficient rules for technology transfer.
