1. Tech Mining

Your organization may not be able to license all intellectual assets right away, nor will everything be ready to be licensed/transferred/assigned at once. Perhaps, there is a need to know which of these assets can be licensed/assigned in short-, medium, or long-term. We help you make an inventory of licensable techs/patents/inventions based on their techno-commercial merit.

2. Market Pitch

Market players may or may not understand the worth of your technology or asset. We help develop the right pitch/marketing collaterals for your assets to create excitement among target licensees in the language they understand and appreciate.

How do we do? An example of Tech License Work-Flow

Tech/IP In-Licensing

If you are looking for in-licensing a technology/IP/know-how, which is complementary to your business/product/service, we conduct a customized sector-specific mapping of the asset you’re looking for, and help you structure and execute the entire in- licensing arrangement with the licensor – be it a company or institute, from India or abroad. Our services, inter alia, involve shortlisting relevant assets/know-hows (if you have not already spotted the same), technical, commercial and legal due diligence (with sharp encumbrance check), techno-legal-commercial negotiations, deal-structuring, valuations, NDAs/MTAs, Term Sheets, legal instruments, and closure.

Tech/IP Co-Development

If you’re a large corporate, SME or a Start-up, you may find that R&D institutes, academic set-ups, and other companies possess know-hows and R&D capabilities that can potentially complement your technology, product, or business interest. These organizations can provide niche expertise to either develop, supplement, or evaluate / validate your ideas, methods, products etc. Interestingly, partnerships with academia and R&D institutes are capex free, and in many cases, are encouraged by governments across the globe, and are clubbed with tax incentives. We help you identify the most suitable scientific group for your requirement, and moreover, help you structure a mutually rewarding deal by fast-tracking institute’s internal processes, which may otherwise be painstaking.

If you’re an Academic / R&D institute / Hospital

Are you looking for an industrial partner to translate your ideas/proof-of- concepts/prototypes into commercial products and services at industrial scale?

Is your institute or hospital looking for leveraging industrial capabilities and infrastructure to scale-up the background IP developed at your lab?

Is your institution interested in collaborating with an industrial partner to co-develop a series of IPs in a specified domain on a mission-mode?

Is your institution either exploring possibility with a particular industrial group or would like to identify a suitable industrial partner for your R&D translation plans?

If the answer to above is yes, Adjukines provides end-to-end services to cater to such requirements of R&D institutions.

Creation of Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs)

If you are an R&D institute or a business house, a few technology or business propositions are better nurtured through an SPV – a separate legal entity that spins off from your organization but shall remain under the governance of parent/host organization. In case of institutions, such SPVs are usually Section-8 companies or societies (though the latter is increasingly becoming obsolete), in case of business houses these SPVs are Pvt. Ltd. Companies or LLPs.

Adjukines provides the complete handholding support in evaluating the need for incorporating such SPVs, their conceptualization, structuring, incorporation, and post- incorporation operations including governance, management, administration of the SPV, Board formation, relationship with the host/parent organizations, team building, funding, compliances, business operations etc.

R&D Consulting

Adjukines helps organizations (be they businesses or R&D institutes) find takers of their niche R&D capabilities in the form of R&D consulting services. Consulting arrangements are typically structured in the form of a troubleshooting assignment, an experimental validation exercise, translation of an idea into a proof-of-concept, or advisory service for a R&D program. If your team/organization is looking for an expert (individual or a group) or a specific facility/R&D infrastructure to undertake R&D work, we can help you locate such capabilities and structure a mutually rewarding arrangement with them.

Adjukines provides end-to-end service - right from understanding your requirement, translating it into a spec/scope sheet, identifying and qualifying the right expert/team, to translating the arrangement into a mutually agreeable legal instrument to ensure you’ll get the required solution/s as per the defined timelines and at the expense of pre-specified resources.

Asset Mining

For organizations or academia with large portfolio of IP assets, Asset Mining is an important, but specialized, task that requires capabilities to assess them on techno- legal-commercial merits. Adjukines undertakes assignments to mine such IP assets and short-list those that are worthy to be invested in further – a critical decision that every R&D group needs to take routinely. Adjukines provides asset mining services for the following purposes :

Mining of technologies / know-hows / patents / capabilities that exist outside your organization, but are relevant for your product/service portfolio; thus, need to be in- licensed or acquired or

Mining of technologies / know-hows / patents that exist within your organization, and have potential to be out-licensed, assigned, spun-off or invested further in.
