The Department of Industry, Innovation & Science and IP Australia have developed a toolkit to help simplify the complexities of managing Intellectual property (IP) collaborations between researchers and business.

It can be used to identify issues early on, help to prevent delays and avoid disputes as the project progresses.

The toolkit includes:

• a checklist covering the key issues that need to be considered
• contract, confidentiality agreement and term sheet templates
• guidance and information to help collaborating parties manage their IP.

Take a look at how the IP Toolkit can help with your next collaboration.
