From a thesis to informed protection

Preparing a thesis and the projects it contains can serve many goals - not only passing a course.

What diploma work can lead to

• creating inventions or methodologies,
• practical training in protecting one’s own work at patent offices,
• preparation for publication or scientific research,
• foundations for commercialisation for enthusiasts and practitioners,
• education in intellectual property protection (R, C) within engineering practice,
• a basis for a doctoral process.

LEGACY AND INNOVATION provides education, not a substitute for a patent attorney. We show how to organise the result of the work, assess disclosure risk, and only then choose a path of protection, publication or further development.

The “thesis - IP protection” path is one of the foundation’s programme pillars - alongside social innovation and tests in the MVE model (a pilot method, not a technology).
