What is the IP commercialization process through ORKTS?
The University’s streamlined commercialization process begins when a CUHK researcher discloses a potentially important invention. Along the process, the researcher receives professional services provided by specialized teams at ORKTS. First, the IP and Technology Licensing Team (IPTL Team) assists in developing a suitable IP and commercialization strategy. Then, the invention will be packaged and promoted to attract potential business partners through various marketing channels (e.g. web-based marketing campaigns, business matching and international exhibitions). Once a suitable business partner is identified, ORKTS will help the researchers to develop concrete collaboration proposals and draw up a contract acceptable to all parties.
