Eric Gibb, Contracts Manager, SURE

Tuesday,11th May 2004, 2.00pm - 4.00pm,
Lecture Theatre A1, Cottrell Building

This session will introduce the basic steps required to begin the process of
commercialisation.  Some of the issues covered will include: -

*	It's my idea and therefore I'm entitled to the profit.
*	Is there a market for this research/product/service?
*	Who owns the IP (Intellectual Property)?
*	To patent or not to patent?
*	In what way(s) can the University help me?
*	Banks - who needs them?
*	I'm a scientist - not a businessperson!
*	What is a business plan anyway?
*	This product will market itself!
*	The importance of the right team!

Join members of the University's commercialisation arm, SURE, to find out
the answers to these questions, explore these statements and take your first
steps towards making your research pay!
