UNC's Kenan Institute of Private Enteprise Announces Patent and Market Strategy Program for Inventors and Entrepreneurs
Chapel Hill (PRWEB) February 04, 2015 -- Inventors and entrepreneurs who are developing patent and market strategies for their idea or invention have a new resource: The Patent Landscaping and Market Evaluation Program offered by the Frank Hawkins Kenan Institute of Private Enterprise at the University of North Carolina Kenan-Flagler Business School.
The program offers custom reports that provide strategic views and contextual analysis to build business ideas into working technology and intellectual property (IP).These reports identify:
• Patent landscaping, a type of research process that creates an overview of the patents that are pending or in place in a particular area
• Market research for products and services based on the invention
• Potential licensees and partners for the IP and/or technology-based startup
• Possible funding opportunities to reach the commercial market
The Kenan Institute of Private Enterprise offers the program for a fee to startups, small business and other universities, while continuing to provide it at no cost to UNC-Chapel Hill faculty, staff and students.
The program is designed for startups including technology-based or social ventures and small businesses. Inventors or firms from universities outside UNC-Chapel Hill must receive approval by their universities’ technology transfer offices prior to applying for the service.
