Based on the analysis, Oxford Oracle also made recommendations for the most appropriate route to market for the technology. In January 2017, Oxford Oracle carried out an IP environment review and market analysis for a medical technology developed by an Oxford academic. Oxford Oracle's report identified research trends and prior art that would affect patentability and freedom to operate. It also included broader market due diligence, to give an early indication of the market need and the competitor environment: Oxford Oracle identified the leading competitor technologies, and mapped their key features. It was evident that Oxford technology had significant advantages over the competition. Based on the market analysis, Oxford Oracle also made recommendations for the most appropriate route to market for the technology. Thanks to Oxford Oracle's report, the researchers now have evidence that they can use to support their application for translational funding. IP landscaping is a service that Oxford Oracle routinely delivers to clients. Oxford Oracle conducts IP landscaping for clients. Oxford Oracle's IP environment and market analysis reports are typically 15 20 pages long and are usually completed within one month of the kick-off meeting held with the research team and collaborators.

As a result of Oxford Oracle's report the researchers were provided the necessary evidence to support their application for translational funding.
