UWS Innovation Inventor Awards

As a way of recognising and rewarding the University’s valued inventors, UWS Innovation hosted their third annual UWS Inventor Reward Function on Tuesday 17^th December.

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.

 

The UWS Inventor mug is given to recognise their contribution to the UWS intellectual property portfolio and be presented with the Universities gratitude.

The University would like to thank all of its inventors for their hard work and innovative ideas throughout 2013.

UWS Intellectual Property Evaluation Panel

This year’s final Intellectual Property Evaluation Panel held on the 29^th of November was a great success. The best and brightest inventors within the University were able to present their inventions to an eclectic panel of experts, entrepreneurs and University representatives in the hopes of securing IP protection and/or funding for their research. The panel assesses the commercial potential of ground-breaking research coming out of the University, with the aim of aiding researchers to protect their ideas and take them to market.

We were fortunate to again have the expertise of UWS academics and industry to evaluate our research potential.  The diverse backgrounds of the panelists allowed for comprehensive understanding, analysis and recommendations. We would like to thank our generous panel members of the day David Adamthwaite (Adams Pluck), Jarred Shein (M.H. Carnegie & Co), Dr Jeremy Chrisp (Jeremy Chrisp & Associates), Assoc Prof Dennis Chang (School of Science and Health), Assoc Prof Terry Sloan (UWS School of Business), Debra Bailey (ORS), Fiona Montebello (UWS Lawyer), Peter Malecki (UWS Commercial Lawyer), Prof Deborah Sweeney (Associate Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research) Health and Science) and Dr Kathryn Sunn (UWSI Chair).

This panel saw presentations coming out of the School of Science and Health, the School of Medicine and the MARCS Institute. We would like to congratulate all the inventors that took part in our IP panel for their outstanding presentations and for all winning the support of the University to commercialise their ideas.

This blog will keep you up to date with progress of the inventions as they continue along the exciting path to commercialisation.

Our Intellectual Property Evaluation Panels are held every quarter throughout the year and we will be announcing the dates for the 2014 IP Panels early next year.
