Research with impact
Innovative technologies are constantly being developed at the Max Planck Institutes. To ensure that these groundbreaking research results find their way into practical applications, they need to be transferred to industry and society in a targeted manner.
Every invention is assessed for protectability and economic potential, and a tailor-made patent strategy is developed together with the researchers. In this way, we secure intellectual property and lay the foundation for subsequent commercialisation.
