UMIP's role is to bring the University's ground-breaking innovations into the commercial world. The University of Manchester Intellectual Property (UMIP) is a division of The University of Manchester I 3 Ltd (UMI 3 ), the University's agent for intellectual property commercialisation. UMI 3 is wholly owned by the University which has over a 30-year history of IP commercialisation. As a result of the world-leading research at our university, there is potential for numerous innovative processes, materials and products in the 2D materials research field to be invented in our labs across campus. Our job at UMIP is to turn these innovations into a commercial reality through patenting and assisting in the commercial development of these technologies. UMIP continues strategic development of this IP portfolio and is leveraging these IP assets to drive commercialisation activities that include licensing, industrial partnerships, and spin-out businesses. Currently, UMIP activities are focused around the development of platform spin-outs for certain applications and the licensing of other technologies to companies where this is more appropriate. We are always interested to hear from academic inventors, potential licensees and partners, and interested investors.
