As an organisation responsible for managing DCU’s Intellectual Property (IP) portfolio, Invent DCU coordinates and negotiates IP terms in all research agreements; is responsible for commercialising technologies arising from DCU research; and serves as a point of contact for industry seeking access to University research expertise, facilities and technologies.
The Invent DCU Intellectual Property and commercialisation team is happy to talk to researchers at any stage of their research. However experience has shown that researchers who engage Invent early in the process often attain the best outcomes.
