Scientific Service

Ascenion‘s local staff start advising and supporting scientists prior to patent applications, for example by reviewing manuscripts and planned publications in order to identify commercially attractive  inventions at an early stage and patent them where appropriate.  Together with the team at Ascenion’s Munich headquarters, they then develop tailor-made proposals for patenting and marketing strategies, forge contacts with industry, and negotiate fair contracts.  In the event that a spin-off is launched, Ascenion helps the company founders become independent and puts them in contact with specialist investors in the life-science field.
