Description

AeroSpace Cornwall supports businesses to develop products, services and technologies which can be sold into the aerospace and space supply chain(s).

Several businesses have identified challenges developing and selling products and services into these markets without the appropriate legal knowledge to ensure collaboration contracts are sound and any future commercial considerations are prepared for effectively.

Many of the business approaching AeroSpace Cornwall have not considered how they will protect and commercialise the intellectual property (IP) generated through R&D project activity. This is especially important in collaborative R&D projects where arising IP is shared between the parties involved and SME's can often be at a disadvantage compared to larger entities with in-house legal advisors. Support is required for a number of businesses with IP, R&D collaboration agreements and contracts before, during and after R&D activity has taken place.

There is a requirement for an appropriately qualified legal expert to transfer knowledge of the legal aspects of IP associated with R&D activity to support businesses in overcoming these challenges.
