License Planning Support Programme
If you are a current participant or past alumni of ICURe or Lean Launch Programme, we would love to invite you to access this online License Planning support package. The programme will take place between January and March 2021.
The aim is to work together to support you to develop a Licensing Pack to take to potential licensees, and to develop the skills you need to be able to successfully negotiate license deals for your innovation.

Time Commitment
Each scheduled session lasts between 1 to 3 hours. There will be some work required outside the scheduled sessions between 9th Feb and 9th March. This time will be used to develop your license pack.
The level of work required depends on how much information you have already collated for your license pack following your ICURe or Lean Launch Programme market discovery journey. Your Technology Transfer Office representative will be able to guide you on how much time will likely be required during that 4 week period.
