LICENSING: FAST-TRACKED ACCESS TO STELLENBOSCH UNIVERSITY TECHNOLOGY
Innovus offers Innovus Instant Access® Licensing (IAL) which grants easy access to selected cutting edge technologies in our intellectual property portfolio.
We understand that companies are sometimes hesitant to enter into a cumbersome process of negotiation for licensing new and untested technologies. Through Innovus Instant Access® Licensing, Stellenbosch University fast-tracks this process and provides private sector entities with an opportunity to introduce new technology into their business environments with minimal effort and minimal up-front costs.
The available technologies are listed on the Innovus website and interested parties can submit a motivation supporting their request to gain access to specific technologies.Our technology transfer team will assist in any questions you may have and you have access to the IAL directly from the technology page. The IAL, is a simplified quick license permitting interested partners to gain full commercial use of the university proprietary technologies from 6 months up to two years in order to assess the impact and potential of the relevant technology. The assessment period will enable the company to implement the technology in the business environment and, where appropriate, test and develop the market. The opportunity requires a once of fee of R 1 000 with a licence fee per annum or 1% of the income generated as a result of using the technology, should the technology be commercially exploited during the term of the IAL.
Through the Innovus Instant Access® Licensing initiative, we significantly lower the barriers to sharing our research outcomes and enable its application for the benefit of the economy and society. We trust that this initiative will foster strong industry partnerships, improve competitiveness and stimulate job creation.
