FAQs
Why is such a program needed?
Phd students, professors would prefer to focus on establishing their business and not get embroiled in the logistics. In many cases the support systems required for navigating the terrain in terms of Co-founders agreement, Ternsheets, defining and capturing IP, establishing patent applications, verbiage and Royalty discussions and negotiations with Universities is based on hearsay or inadequate reference points. The program will help demystify the process and create win-win arrangements.
