The Valorisation and Innovation Office supports SISSA researchers and PhD students in protecting, managing, and valorising their inventions and research results through Intellectual Property (IP) tools such as patents, copyrights, and know-how. The main goal is to help scientists and researchers transform scientific ideas into protected innovations with real market potential.
Before patenting, it’s essential to assess what already exists in your field. The Valorisation Office, in collaboration with Area Science Park’s PatLib office, offers a free Prior Art Search service to help you:
- Save time and resources
- Avoid duplications
- Strengthen the novelty and strategy of your application
If you have an idea, a technology under development, or a finished product, the Valorisation Office can support you with:
- General guidance on Intellectual Property Rights (IPR)
- Evaluation of research results to determine patentability and commercial potential
- Support in preparing and submitting invention disclosures
- Assistance with filing patent applications
- Funding and coordination of the patenting process
- Support in commercializing inventions and managing license agreements
All evaluations and filings are free of charge if the invention shows sufficient potential.
