Inventions and Patents

At Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø (LUH), scientists are regularly generating interesting research results. Some constructions, such as technical inventions, are eligible for protection of industrial property – i.e., are patentable. The LUH examines whether an invention is patentable and whether a patent application would be economically reasonable on a case-by-case basis. Where applicable, the guidelines of funders are taken into account as part of this process.

Excellent research and development which is worth it!

Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø conducts outstanding research and development work. Industry can benefit from this excellence by licencing proprietary research results. 

On the basis of intellectual property rights, firms can work together with Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø researchers to develop innovative products and processes and thereby gain a competitive advantage.
