TIP – IPR

EU INCO Help Desk: "One could compare the character of the TIP with a report to the Commission. It does not create a legal commitment between the contractors. This is also why the TIP will not directly influence the actual ownership of RTD results, for it is only a plan – and not its execution. However, the contractors have to inform the Commission of the steps taken to carry out the agreed TIP. And: They must justify any subsequent changes in the TIP that significantly alters the conditions of exploitation. If the contractors decide to alter the original indication for ownership and use of the RTD results, it will be regarded as such a “subsequent change” by the Commission."

Exploitation plans 1

• 1. Prefilled: Contract number, contact person

• 2. Title and brief description of result: Same title as in the result list. A description of not more than 2-3 sentences is usually enough.

Exploitation plans 2

3. Activities:• Examples• a) Product

development• b) Product

demonstration• c) Product launch• d) Further

research and development

Exploitation plans 3Corresponding ‘descriptions of activities’:Examples (!!)• a) Fabrication and testing of the instrument,

calibration and optimisation. This will be done by (partner name) on its own (alt. in cooperation with XX)

• b) Demonstration of the system under conditions X, Y and Z. This will be done by (partner name) on its own (alt. in cooperation with XX)

• c) Launch of the instrument on the market. This will be done by ……

• d) (Partner name) will continue R&D on ……….. based on the results achieved in this project. Continued financing will be applied for from XX and the EU Framework programmes. This will be done in cooperation with (existing partners?)

For each activity state the approximate number of months after the end of the project when the activity will take place.

Exploitation plans 4

4. Foreseen collaborations with other entities• Just tick the appropriate boxes

5. Quantified data• ….. just do your best estimate – the

purpose is overall EU statistics and the individual project will not be held responsible ……
