Before the Result,……………..There is an Idea
First approach : do not forget to fill in a Laboratory Notebook
i-DEPOT, a service provided by the B.O.I.P.
A reliable way of proving the existence of an idea, a concept or a process at a precise date.
It does not give rise to an IP Right.
A quick and inexpensive way to constitute proof of anteriority
Generating New Results Collaboration Agreement
Negotiation between Partners
By whom and how the results will be exploited ?
Who will be the owner(s) of the result(s) ?
(Foreground)
In which conditions the know-how will be
exchanged ?(Background)

Licensing an I.P. Right
• A long-term Policy – Must fit with the industrial strategy
• Revenues generated several years after the protection
• Low revenues because innovations are quite fundamental in PRO
• Revenues cover a small share of the costs of filling and management
Always carefully negotiate clauses (I.P. and exploitation) and financial conditions (upfront, royalties,…) of a
licensing agreement

Creating a spin-off / start-up (tips)
• Well-protected Innovation
• Think about your Business Model (test and adapt)
• Build your Business Plan
• Work with the right people
• Negotiate strong agreement
