Academics and PGR (Post Graduate Research) Students often struggle to comprehend how the term ‘IP (Intellectual Property)’ relates to them and their research projects, due to lack of simplified training contents on IP related courses wherein the attendees can emphasise on ‘using the knowledge on IP rights’ to aid their ongoing research projects rather than ‘becoming an IP expert / IP Attorney’.
This course intends to demystify the basics of IP from a researcher’s view of planning and delivering a research project (which is of the nature of either ‘an exploratory basic research grant / funded-research work towards a problem-solving task’ or ‘yet-to-explore commercialisation pathway development / industry-funded targeted-problem solving work’).
As a researcher, the usual concerns in undertaking a research project include ‘knowing background & arising IPs’, ‘filling up IP management & IP exploitation aspects inside a grant application’, ‘agreeing terms on IP management and IP exploitation arrangement among partners’, and ‘planning technology development aligned to market needs while exploring prior arts’.
Through this training course, one can learn about how Researchers can maximise Research Impact potentials out of research projects with the knowledge of handling IPs and exploitation pathways of research outputs (i.e. arising IPs / foreground IPs).
The context of research environment adopted for delivering this course is of UK Universities (esp. those in England) for referencing/using ‘certain terminologies and rules/regulations on research governance’. However, the training contents are relevant and appropriate to anywhere outside UK too.

He is passionate about working with innovators (especially in higher education and research organisations) towards solving global challenges in a scientific approach aligned to the market/social needs. He supports planning of Intellectual Property (IP) strategy for protecting R&D outputs to enable organisations achieve competitive advantages in the market and creation of new joint ventures / startup companies for commercial exploitation of disruptive technologies. He engages ‘local and regional’ bodies to advise and draft socioeconomic development programmes and policies connected to supporting SMEs and entrepreneurs. He has an academic background of engineering, management studies and international commercial law.
