ISIS INNOVATION LIMITED
Ewert House, Ewert Place, Summertown, Oxford OX2 7BZ
Isis Innovation, a wholly-owned company of the University, was established
in 1988. The company has been formed to exploit know-how arising out of
research funded by the UK Government through the Research Councils and
funded by other bodies where the rights are not tied. The function of the
company is to ensure that the results of research bring rewards to Oxford, and
to the inventors, who are given a financial incentive for exploitation.
Isis seeks licensees willing to pay lump sums and/or royalties for the
use of know-how arising out of research. Isis also exploits the intellectual
property of the University by setting up individual companies using venture
capital or development capital funds.
Isis' services are also available
to individuals who wish to exploit the results of research supported by
non-Research Council sources, when there are no prior conditions on the
handling of the intellectual property rights. Isis Innovation has at its disposal
a small pre- seedcorn fund for paying the costs of protecting intellectual
property rights and for taking work to a stage where its potential can be
assessed.
Isis finds industrial partners to ensure that new ideas can be developed
for market requirements. The company has established the Oxford Innovation
Society for major industrial companies, so that they can have a window on
Oxford technology and an opportunity to license and invest where appropriate.
A brochure explaining Isis' activities is available. If you wish to
receive a copy, please contact Isis (details below).
Members of the University should contact the Managing Director if
they wish to take advantage of the services that Isis provides. (Telephone:
