Challenge

Oxford Oracle has a long-standing strategic partnership with Oxford Brookes University (OBU) to assist them with the commercialisation of their research encompassing physical and life sciences.

The Oracle's Solution

From 2007 to 2009, the partnership arrangement included the review of an OBU portfolio of patents and other Intellectual Property, encompassing assessments of commercial potential and strategy development. In particular, Oxford Oracle provided initial innovation guidance and advice on specific projects and in terms of the processes and policies within the University Research and Business Development Office. In 2011, this partnership further developed and thus resulted in project reviews, project development plans with the highest potential and management in collaboration with the marketing manager at OBU. Additionally, Oxford Oracle has been charged with mentoring activities at the Knowledge Transfer Office.
