Intellectual Property Awareness Resource UMIP - the University's intellectual property (IP) commercialisation company would like to make you aware of its IP Awareness Resource, co-developed with Eversheds LLP. The resource is targeted at academics and research staff and its aim is to increase the awareness of IP and demonstrate the benefits of its commercialisation to the University and the IP generator. You will find a series of video clips by professionals and academic colleagues on various aspects of IP and its commercialisation. We hope that this resource gives you a valuable insight into the types of IP which can be used to protect novel ideas/inventions and how, for example, IP can be commercialised via spin-out or licence with the help of UMIP. Also featured is information on IP and Academic Materials and IP within a Research Contract and Consulting environment with links to various forms, process guides and booklets which you may find useful. www.manchester.ac.uk/ipresource EventsMaDE 2011: Manchester Dependability Week 23-28 May 11The Centre for Interdisciplinary
