establishing the proposed exploitation routes for the project partners,
-
show that protection and exploitation of assets is already taken seriously in the partners' business,

We suggest to use a checklist for the major issues to be considered in terms of intellectual property and project results exploitation:
-
How will results be protected?
-
How will background and results be organised and managed?
-
How will joint ownership be treated?
-
How will the results be exploited?
-
Which confidentiality measures have been and will be put in place?
-
How appropriate is the management structure for the measures proposed in terms of exploitation and protection of results?
