The Commercialization Journey

EOC has the resources and expertise to support and guide you along your commercialization journey from submitting an invention disclosure through to negotiating a deal.

DISCLOSURE

The commercialization journey begins when you submit an invention disclosure. A disclosure is a confidential record of your idea.Submitting an invention disclosure notifies the team at EOC and begins the process of your commercialisation journey.

PRELIMINARY EVALUATION

Once you have submitted an invention disclosure, EOC will guide you through a preliminary evaluation. This usually involves discussing the technology or invention and conducting some initial market research.

WORKSHOP ASSESSMENT

If the invention or technology shows promise following the preliminary evaluation, then the next step is to hold a workshop assessment.This is an opportunity for everyone who is (or will be) involved in the commercialisation journey to meet the inventors and discuss the technology. The workshop is also an opportunity for the investment committee to assess the technologies commercial potential and allocate funding.

MARKET DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCIALIZATION STRATEGY

After the workshop assessment, work begins on developing a detailed strategy for commercializing the technology or invention. The EOC team work closely with you and assign a project manager to guide you along the commercialization journey.While the inventors work to develop the technology, the eam at EOC also conducts market and patent research.

NEGOTIATION AND DEAL

This is where the commercialization journey comes to an end. Depending on the technology, this might involve a sale of the rights to use the invention, a license for use, or the establishment of a Start-up company to apply the invention.The team at EOC have decades of experience and work hard to negotiate the best deal for the inventors and the university.
