Bangalore, India (PRWEB) February 28, 2005 -- Brain League, an intellectual property management consultancy incubating out of the Nadathur S. Raghavan Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning (NSRCEL) at the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore, has initiated a unique technology commercialization service for universities and start up companies. The consultancy is seeking to provide this service as a launch pad to assist research institutes in universities and research based start-up companies in commercializing their inventions. Numerous research products developed at universities never see the light of the day due to lack of financial support that is required to meet the high costs of patenting and commercialization" says Kalyan C. Kankanala co-founder of Brain League who is a biotechnology patent law specialist from Franklin Pierce Law Center, USA. Because of the absence of business aptitude among the academia it is believed that immense talent is being allowed to rot.

The situation is no different when it comes to research-based start-up companies that do not have the financial clout to neither meet the prohibitive patent costs nor access commercialization of their ground breaking inventions. This has become a critical issue for innovators planning to commercialize their inventions.

With its multi-disciplinary team and worldwide network, Brain League aims to cater to the needs of technology commercialization. Unique to the industry is Brain Leagues network of international technology consultants. A network of consultants trained in handling technology transfers in countries such as USA, UK, Austria, Croatia, Japan, China, Brazil, Taiwan, and Korea are offering their expert service through Brain League. This network allows the company to expose the technology to various markets in the world and to facilitate technology commercialization. Through various legal channels and instruments Brain League further offers services to protect its clients from losing their intellectual property.

Brain Leagues formation is perceived by the industry as a unique combination of technology, management and law. This blend is often required to understand, commercialize, and protect an invention. The team at Brain League has received education and training from Premier institutes like IITs, IIMs, BITS, Harvard Law School, University of California at Berkeley, Franklin Pierce Law Center, University of Texas at Austin and World Intellectual Property Organization. Our goal is to not only protect the intellectual property of universities and start-ups but also to strategically commercialize and manage the intellectual assets for optimal commercial benefit" says Arun K. Narasani managing partner of Brain League who consults on technology patent and management issues with his peer alumni groups of IIMB and IIT Madras.

Incorporation of Brain League is an excellent opportunity for the Indian universities and knowledge driven companies to get the most out of their inventions. With the world focusing on India for high-end research and innovation, Brain League and similar technology and patent consulting firms see nothing but growth.
