Spin-out Review – Statement of Adoption
Kingston University welcomes the Report from the Independent Review of University Spin-out Companies (‘Spin-out review') and has adopted its recommendations which have now been incorporated into our University Intellectual Property Rights Policy and Exploitation of Inventions and Patents Policy.
In particular, Kingston University welcomes the opportunity to use the impetus provided by the Spin-Out review to:
- Continue to develop and update our spin-out policy and commercialisation processes so that they align with the best practice guidelines presented in the Review and those in the University Spin-out Investment Terms (USIT) Guide.
- Promote our spin-out policy and commercialisation processes to our researchers as an opportunity to bring their research into application and impact where suitable.
- Ensure spin-outs are always considered as a route for University IP exploitation.
- Develop equity sharing policy appropriate for each specific new venture.
- Make a tangible contribution to economic growth in our region through spin-out company formation.
