Upcoming IP Toolkit for Academic Institutions

October 23, 2017

WIPO is currently developing a new set of resources to support academic instructions in their use of intellectual property (IP) – the IP Toolkit for Academic Institutions – Connecting Academic Research with Economy and Society. 

The Toolkit represents a comprehensive set of documents and training support tools for:

  • those involved in drafting institutional IP policies;
  • technology managers; and
  • IP professionals engaged in asset management and knowledge transfer.

Assemblies preview

A presentation of a draft part of the Toolkit containing the “IP Commercialization Roadmap” took place during a side event to the Fifty-Seventh Series of Meetings of the Assemblies of the Member States of WIPO organized on October 3, 2017.

The full Toolkit will be available in early 2018.

Part Two of the Toolkit contains the IP Commercialization Roadmap, which represents a new approach to IP commercialization for academic institutions. Using the Roadmap, academic institutions can get a wider and more comprehensive view of the factors involved in the commercialization process, all the while keeping a clear focus on the goal (“utilization actions”) and the ways in which they can achieve it.
