Assemble University IP and Commercial Assets
Compile all requisite technical data, patent disclosures, freedom-to-operate notes, and initial non-confidential pitch materials. Organise these inputs into a coherent package suitable for initial corporate review.
Gathering these inputs ensures that all technical claims are backed by rigorous academic evidence before external engagement. It prevents project delays by pre-emptively preparing answers for corporate due diligence queries.
Complete an inventory of accessible venture assets including technology readiness assessments, IP status summaries, and a non-confidential executive briefing. Show clear evidence that university technology transfer office clearance has been granted for external sharing.
