CERN adopts new scheme for easy access to intellectual property
CERN adopts new scheme for easy access to intellectual property. Geneva, 4 June 2012. CERN 1 has adopted a new approach to knowledge transfer under the label of CERN Easy Access IP, an initiative to make it easier for businesses and entrepreneurs to access intellectual property generated at CERN in the course of its research programme. CERN Easy Access IP involves granting a free license for selected technologies from CERN's portfolio. The full portfolio is available through a wide range of channels including R&D collaborations, services and consultancy, support to spin-off companies and the creation of business incubation centres in CERN's Member States. "CERN Easy Access IP joins existing technology transfer opportunities offered by CERN. It is an additional tool to maximize access to our technologies and know-how," explained Giovanni Anelli, Head of CERN's Knowledge Transfer Group.
