SpinOuts

Sometimes the best route to market for your ideas is to form a new company.

Both the University and the founders take an equity stake in the spinout, and there is also potential for royalty income.

Launching a spinout is a good route if the IP is a platform technology – requiring both technical and market development – or if no existing companies are willing or able to develop the IP.

We can help you to

  • Build an investable business plan and management team
  • Source investment
  • Negotiate the commercial and IP terms of the deal

Our Intellectual Property Commercialisation Policy (available on the Legal Services website) provides plenty of useful information and is substantially in line with the Government’s recommendations following the Independent review of university spin-out companies.
