The Knowledge Asset Management Hub is a resource to help universities and other research institutions identify, protect and commercialise their intellectual assets. It brings together a comprehensive set of practical resources. According to the announcement on the Intellectual Property Office website, the Hub consists of the following components:
- "Institutional IP strategy guidance — practical frameworks to help universities and research organisations develop and implement IP strategies and policies at an organisational level
- Project-level IP risk and opportunity tools — resources to help teams identify and manage IP considerations within individual research projects, from early-stage collaboration agreements through to commercialisation
- Patent data analysis and IP due diligence resources — tools to support the assessments that underpin licencing, spin-out formation, and investment decisions
- Knowledge Asset Management Toolkit — guidance recognising that effective knowledge asset management requires strategic and operational management."
The following guides were published with the announcement:
- KAM Guide: Introduction and intellectual property policy: an excellent introduction to those unfamiliar;
- KAM Guide: Intellectual property management: a more detailed guide on the different IP rights and how they mayh be acquired;
- KAM Guide: Further resources and glossary of terms: links to the relevant statutes, guidance on funding and licensing and glossary;
- Knowledge Asset Management Guide: very handy document, particularly for those with a grounding in IA management;
- Knowledge Asset Management(KAM) Toolkit: useful charts, checklist and basic infor; and
- IP due diligence quick guide: introduction to due diligence and an explanation of why it is important.
Useful though these guides are they cannot cover everything. Anyone wanting to discuss any of these topics is welcome to give me a bell on +44 (0)20 7404 5252 during UK office hours or send me a message at any time.
