Express IP is UMIP's fast-track route for the commercialisation and dissemination
of the University's non-patented research outputs:
> Software
> Clinical Outcome Assessments (COAs)
> Images
> Research Materials
We will support you in
protecting your IP and provide
the tools for its dissemination or
commercialisation. If you have a
market-ready product in one of
the above categories then please
contact our IP Scouting Team.
If you want to know more
about Express IP or would like
someone to come and talk at
your research meeting, seminar
or away day then please email
express@umip.com or call Ed
Maughfling on 0161 606 7213.
Whether your IP asset has
a research or commercial
application, our aim is to connect
it with customers or licensees
as quickly and efficiently as
possible. Where possible we
will try to work with licensee
that can act as a distributor
and take care of all marketing
activity in return for a share of
any revenues – indeed we have
already licensed software, PROs
and research reagents in this
way. In other cases the best way
to help disseminate Express IP is
via our online e-Commerce and
licensing platform Click2Go.
Click2Go was launched in
2014 to provide academia and
industry with easy access to the
University's research outputs. In
the last 18 months the Click2Go
portfolio has expanded to over
90 software, COA, image and
research material products. To
date we have concluded over
200 licences (mainly software
and COAs), sold more than
2400 copies of The Academic
Phrasebank (see page 10) as well
as handling image licensing for
The Manchester Museum and
The Whitworth.
In October 2015 UMIP
and Ximbio, part of Cancer
Research Technology, signed a
master commercial agreement to
make the University's life science
research tools more widely
available to the worldwide
scientific community. The
partnership has had a successful
beginning with an initial
listing of 7 antibodies from
the laboratory of Professor
Martin Humphries, Professor of
Biochemistry, Vice-President and
Dean in the Faculty of
Life Sciences.
