Easy Access IP is the first initiative of the Easy Access Innovation partnership – a collaborative project between the University of Glasgow, King’s College London and the University of Bristol to promote new ways of sharing intellectual property (IP) and to adopt new approaches which make it easier for universities and industry to work together.
Our aim is to maximise partnerships with industry and ultimately, the transfer of university knowledge for public benefit.
There are five key principles to which we are committed:
- we want to maximise the transfer of knowledge
- we’re not solely driven by monetary aims
- we want simple transactions and agreements making it easier for industry to work with us
- we retain sufficient rights to pursue further research (academic and commercial)
- to reach our goal of disseminating our knowledge widely, we retain rights to publish.
In support of this, we’ve adopted Easy Access IP, an initiative that offers certain IP for free, using quick and simple agreements. For more information, read our FAQs or get in touch.
You can also find our more detailed information in our Factsheet.
