As a way of recognising and rewarding the university’s valued inventors, UWS Innovation had the great pleasure of launching the UWS Inventor Reward Mug as part of an end of year social function held on Wednesday, 14 December 2011 at the historic Female Orphan School.
Many of the rewards from patenting take quite some time to be realised, either in the form of granted patents and/or hopefully the commercialisation of the IP. Our inventors were delighted to receive this tangible recognition for all the hard work already done in achieving a provisional patent filing and also as a constant reminder of the exciting journey yet to be taken in realising the invention’s potential.
The event provided a great opportunity for like-minded colleagues to come together, share experiences and celebrate each other’s successes. Dr Fiona Cameron (Associate Director, UWS Innovation) highlighted the successes of a number of UWS inventions and also provided insight into a those on the horizon with potentially worldwide impact. A motivational presentation by Andrew Stead from ATP-Innovations revealed what is possible when university researchers are able to successfully commercialise their inventions as part of a spin-out company.
This has been UWS Innovation’s most successful year ever for the commercialisation of the university’s inventions, and we believe that 2012 will provide even more exciting opportunities.
