Patent and License Strategy

Our goals are the protection and efficient use of our acquired knowledge. Education and knowledge are clear quality and performance factors in today's social development, the generation of knowledge is one of the core tasks of RLP AgroScience GmbH.

The economic factors of a knowledge society are innovations and the responsible use of the resource "knowledge". RLP AgroScience GmbH is aware of its responsibility to protect and exploit its generated knowledge. Not the inventor is primarily in demand, but the research institution that owns the rights. The transfer of knowledge into the economy with transparent processes as a basis is an efficient contribution of RLP AgroScience GmbH to society.

PROTECTING KNOWLEDGE - OUR PATENT STRATEGY

Our goal is to ensure the protection of inventions that have the potential for exploitation.

PROTECTION OF INVENTIONS

Outstanding research achievements and the resulting knowledge are essential resources of our research institution. The scientific quality of the research results links our research institution with optimized patent protection and makes this quality visible to the public, even with its own applications.

BUNDLING THE RIGHTS

Diverse requirements for patent applications and subsequent acts of exploitation require bundling the rights to an invention. RLP AgroScience GmbH is systematically pursuing this bundling in order to achieve an optimum IPR and recovery strategy.

INVOLVEMENT OF STUDENTS AND SCHOLARSHIP HOLDERS

Students, scholarship holders, visiting scholars and other parties without contractual obligations to RLP AgroScience GmbH are basically free inventors. The RLP AgroScience GmbH strives for the integration of these free inventors and offers them the same conditions and the same support as the own inventor.

ASSUMPTION OF COSTS

The costs for the patenting and exploitation processes are taken exclusively by RLP AgroScience GmbH and its partners. The core idea is the patenting of the results of our research services for the steady expansion of our patent portfolio. Continuous mobilization and enhancement of the potential for invention is the motivation of all members of the RLP AgroScience GmbH.
