<p>Public Sector Research Establishments (PSREs) are the responsibility of a number
of Government Departments. No central guidance is issued by the Department for Business
Innovation and Skills (BIS) on exploiting intellectual property rights. The approach
to doing so is determined by individual PRSEs in consultation with their sponsoring
department where appropriate.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>However, tools like the
Lambert toolkit have been developed, hosted and promoted by the Intellectual Property
Office. These can help PSREs conduct effective negotiations in collaborative research
projects and includes a set of model IP licensing and ownership agreements.</p><p>
</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>BIS has conducted surveys of knowledge transfer activities
of PSREs since 2002. The results of the most recent survey undertaken earlier this
year will be published shortly. This will include data about numbers of patents applied
for, numbers granted and income from the licensing of IP.</p><p><br></p><p> </p><p>
