What It Means

Commercialisation is the process of turning research or innovation into products or services that generate economic or social value. It typically involves developing, scaling, and delivering an invention to market - often through licensing, manufacturing, partnerships, or spin-out companies. Effective commercialisation bridges the gap between discovery and market adoption, ensuring that IP becomes usable, investable, and profitable.

Why It Matters
Focused commercialisation:
Transforms ideas into income
By developing market-ready products or services, commercialisation drives the conversion of intellectual assets into sustainable revenue streams and growth opportunities.
Attracts partners and investors
Investors fund businesses, not just ideas. A robust commercialisation plan demonstrates that you understand how to create customer value and build a viable company, making your venture a much more attractive investment.
Guides strategic IP decisions
Your commercial goals should dictate your IP strategy. Knowing your target market and production timeline determines what you protect, where you protect it, and what form of IP rights you pursue.
