Inventions and Intellectual Property Rights
Patented inventions are an important factor for the successful implementation of innovations in the market. For the University of Bremen, the inventions, patent applications and registered patents of its scientists form an important basis for knowledge exchange and transfer.
One of the University's goals is the exploitation of its intellectual property: Cooperation is established through suitable agreements and flanked by licensing regulations. With the help of the considerable experience and knowledge already acquired at the University, spin-offs are able to operate under patent protection.
Information for inventors

If you have any questions or are unsure whether your invention is really new or not, feel free to contact us at UniTransfer.
It is important that no information about the invention reaches the public prematurely, either through a publication, a lecture or e.g. a contribution to the internet presence of your working group.
