Applicability and Commercialization of R&D Results

Sukurta: 23 January 2020

The success of research-driven solutions and their commercialization depends on the novelty of an idea, its originality, maturity of R&D solution, as well as on information about the customer or the user of the R&D based solution / product / technology, current competitive environment, market trends, etc. However, the ability to apply advanced solution for the end-user or commercialize R&D-based solution does not require your entrepreneurial skills or your accumulated business management experience. University's Innovation Office will offer possible ways to commercialize your R&D solution in compliance with the needs of the market and society, while suggesting improvements or designing offers for new services, products and technologies.

Vilnius University has acquired access to specialized databases*, with the help of which, according to the information you have provided about your solution, technology or invention, colleagues of the Innovation Office may suggest university researchers and students:

patent analysis
market overview.

If a patent analysis and/or a market overview is necessary to assess application or commercialization possibilities of your solution, please, contact Innovation Office at .

Patent analysis

Patent analysis – it is a report based on a search of specialized databases (according to the keywords or phrases you specify), which provides information on registered patent applications or granted patents for similar technologies and inventions. The report forecasts the novelty of your decision. The report indicates the intensity of patenting and the jurisdictions in which the patenting takes place. The patent analysis report also identifies areas where related technologies or inventions are applied, suggests market segments, and provides information on the authors and owners of these patent inventions, i.e., companies that dispose the property rights of granted patent.

Market overview

In the market overview, according to the keywords or phrases you specify, the Innovation Office may provide information about possible markets, sizes and segments of your solution. With the help of a specialized database search tool, this report includes information on market factors and present players in the market, possible application of your solution, participants in the value chain or potential users by area.
