This chart shows the different patented technologies which resulted from a life sciences project. The choice of territories in which to protect is determined by the technology and the market. For example, high specification equipment manufacture can only be delivered from a handful of territories, while sample preparation can be delivered from a wider geographical area; therefore, savings can be made by careful selection of the territories in which to file. We then worked with the client to identify the best licensing strategy, and licensees, in order to maximise income.
