How can a NHS Trust or a PCT assist in exploiting IP unrelated to R&D?
• Very few if any Trusts have in-house expertise to exploit IP, it is a specialist business. It is recommended that a Trust appoints an Adviser Organisation to carry out the work on its behalf. What trusts should do is appoint a person, a Trust IP lead, who will act as the focal point for all IP generated by its employees. This lead person will be the conduit to the Adviser Organisation.
