IPR Asset Inventory and Analysis (IPRA)

• By Russian law, all state-owned research institutes must perform an IPR asset inventory.

• Many institutes are unclear on how to do this.

• ISTC can help.

• IPRA is a key input to development of commercialization priorities and an institute sustainability plan.

Assist ISTC beneficiaries to address the following:

• Which IPR is most valuable, should it be protected and how?

• Does the institute have all the IPR needed for success (incl. background & foreground, an IPR “portfolio”)?

• What legal/contractual limitations may hinder success?

• How to develop a sustainability strategy that helps the institute prioritize its human and asset capital to exploit most valuable IPR for maximum return?

• How to develop expertise and procedures to empower institutes to perform their own IPR asset inventories?

Provide coaching and training so institutes can develop their own IPR asset inventory processes and expertise

Integration of IPR Asset Inventory and Analysis with Other ISTC Activities

• IPRA can find and develop potentially commercializable projects & business models for follow up through:

• Regular or Partner projects

• Advanced Matchmaking

• Commercialization Initiatives or other commercial deals

• Patent Support Program

• Technology Promotion Program

• ISTC is preparing to run a test case of this new service at three selected institutes. ISTC is working with scientists to identify those institutes now.
