The role of the Bayerische Patentallianz GmbH

"Science creates business – this is our guiding principle.
It is precisely at times like these that available knowledge must be used as widely as possible."

Peer Biskup
CEO of the Bayerischen Patentallianz GmbH

The Bayerische Patentallianz GmbH was founded on January 1, 2007 by The University of Bavaria e.V. and The Bavarian Universities of Applied Sciences e.V. and continues the work of the BayernPatent project in the form of a company owned by the universities. As a link between science and industry we have made it our goal to make the excellent and proprietary inventions of the Bavarian universities and universities of applied sciences commercially exploitable for industry.

Together with the patent consultants at the various Bavarian universities we assist the scientists in identifying and evaluating inventions which are of interest commercially as well as in the financing, application and maintenance of patents.

In order to market our patents and technologies we use our extensive contacts to industry. On behalf of our partner universities we negotiate all option, licensing and transfer contracts with the companies. We coordinate and control the complete marketing process and also conclude the agreements with the companies. The proceeds made primarily flow back to the universities and inventors.

The Bayerische Patentallianz GmbH makes an active contribution to identifying interesting innovations, bringing together science and industry and promoting economic developments.

With the kind support of:
