IP & exploitation organisation

IP management for Horizon Europe and collaborative R&D

Collaborative R&D creates value only if the consortium understands what each partner brings, what the project creates and how those results can be used after the project.

Where we help

Arvacore supports project teams with practical IP organisation and exploitation-oriented decision making alongside the relevant legal and specialist advice.

  • Background identification and mapping
  • Result and foreground tracking
  • Ownership discussions preparation
  • Access-right requirements mapping
  • Links between IP decisions and exploitation routes
  • Key exploitable result documentation
  • Partner responsibility and evidence tracking
  • IP inputs for consortium and exploitation discussions
  • Project-level IP registers and decision logs

Important boundary

Arvacore provides project and commercialisation support around IP management. It does not replace patent counsel or legal advice where formal legal interpretation, filing or contractual drafting is required.

Typical situations

  • Partners have not clearly identified relevant background
  • Results are emerging without a clear ownership trail
  • The exploitation plan assumes access that has not been discussed
  • Technical work packages create overlapping contributions
  • IP decisions are being left until project close-out

Arvacore approach

Make IP visible early enough that it can inform technical collaboration, exploitation planning and partner decisions rather than becoming a late-stage administrative exercise.
