The Intellectual Assets division is responsible for managing and protecting Innovators’ intellectual property (IP). This includes patents, trademarks, copyrights, and research outcomes that can be commercialized or shared with the wider community. The unit ensures that innovations are properly protected and leveraged, facilitating opportunities for commercialization, licensing, and partnerships. By managing intellectual assets effectively, the Institute enhances innovators’ ability to generate sustainable value from their research outputs while contributing to the broader innovation ecosystem.
