  1. 3rd panel “IP Management in EU-funded collaborative research projects” Jörg Scherer CEO Eurice GmbH , European IPR Helpdesk

  2. EURICE – H2020 Innovation Support Initiatives • European IPR Helpdesk • Information andtraining on Intellectual Property (IP) andIntellectual Property Rights (IPR) • EEN - Enterprise Europe Network • Information and consulting to support SMEs in the field of cooperation, technology transfer and strategic partnership • Fit forHealth 2.0 • Focusing on research-intensive, high technology SMEs, the project offers targeted support measures, covering the entire innovation cycle of research projects.

  3. EU researchfunding – Outcome ofFP7 impactassessments • Less than 50% of industrial partners use the publicly funded applied research projects strategically • Only about 22% of SMEs participating in EU research programs are strategic innovators • Most academics engage with industry to further their research rather than to commercialise their knowledge • Results are not exploited because projects were not designed for exploitation

  4. Horizon 2020: Coverage of the full innovation chain Societal challenges Industrial leadership Excellent science Basic Research Large scale validation Demonstration Market uptake Technology R&D Prototyping Pilots

  5. Horizon 2020: Expectations on IP and exploitation management • Expectation on sound IP management in H2020/ COSME differs according to: • Specific Programme (i.e. SME instrument, Joint Undertakings with strong industrial participation) • Applicability of results/Technology Readiness Level (TRL) • Participation of SMEs/Industry • Financing Instrument (i.e. Innovation actions/SME instrument) • Size of consortium/International partners • Stage of proposal/maturity of project implementation • Specific requirements called for in the work programme/topic description

  6. Whyisitimportant to consider IP in H2020? • The Rules for Participant establish best efforts commitment of participants to exploit their own results. • IP and exploitation issues are subject to evaluation regarding impact and feasibility of the proposal. • A convincing outline of IP management and exploitation strategies on individual and consortium level within the proposal is a relevant matter. • Results of research and development activities require further and often substantial investments to take them to market, which is appealing if the results are well protected through intellectual property. • Properly managing IP in the projects, helps participants to avoid future conflicts among the consortium.

  7. Horizon 2020: IP downstream route • Understanding thescene (Terms, Rules, Model Agreements, etc) • Setting thescene (Which IP provisionsarenegotiable?) • Gettingtoknowthe individual interests, motivationsandexpectationsof individual partnersregarding IP managementandexploitation • Strategiesand Plans tocapture, manage andexploitresultsof H2020 projects on consortiumlevel • Developingtherightinnovationmanagementstructures • Definition ofappropriateactivitiesandtaskstoimplement innovation-relatedactivities • Exploitationpathways, route tomarket, businessmodels

Routesforexploitation in H 2020 • Use for further research • Developing and selling own products/services • Spin-Off activities • Cooperation agreement/Joint Ventures • Selling IP rights/Selling the (IP based) business • Licensing IP rights (out-licensing) • Standardisation activities (new standards/on-going procedures)
