Working group 6

Objective: The COST Action will promote the transfer of knowledge among the different stakeholders respecting the intellectual property rights management of new knowledge delivered by the Action:

T6.1 1) IPR applications for new products and services. 2) Information that will be disseminated within the Action and to external bodies, such as publications, presentations, only after the necessary steps for ensuring the protection of IPRs have been made. 3) The Management Committee will provide the whole network with a set of exploitation support services (e.g., access to routes for exploitation, market data, advice on IP protection).

T6.2 The exploitation plan will be assisted by the industrial engagement strategy on behalf of the network and lead to activities to be performed by a single knowledge holder on behalf of the other IP players involved with that result. Overall, the plan will contain a pre-assessment of the result’s market potential and exploitation options, which will be performed by the Action members.
