- Abstract:
- The work to be undertaken We will need to instruct the patent attorney, Nick Braddon of Barker Brettell, who has quoted #3,200 plus VAT (#3,990 inclusive of VAT) to file the patent at the UK patent office. The work will require us (i.e. Charlie Morgan of the NOC Enterprise Team, Dr. Sebastian Steigenberger, Kevin Saw, Dr. Socratis Loucaides and Professor Matt Mowlem) providing instructions to Nick Braddon which typically involves a face-to-face meeting (c. 3 hours), a review of Nick's draft (2 hours each) and finalising the draft (3 hours each) and then Nick filing the patent at the UK patent office. How will it inform our understanding? The patent filing, discussions with our preferred partner(s) and/or subsequent independent market research will provide us with timely information to evaluate the commercial opportunities for the in situ UV oxidation device. The discussions and/or market research will also inform our technology development plans for this device. How it will help shape the development and execution of our proposed Follow-on project? The patent filing, discussions with our preferred partner(s) and/or subsequent independent market research will help us secure the best possible license deals across the environmental sensor and/or other end-user markets. As the lab-on-chip technologies are now reaching mature levels, the market research will also validate our current strategy to license to Seabird Scientific, Xylem or Chelsea Technologies Group and/or it could open new doors within different market sectors.
