We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Intellectual Property",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Laboratorytalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Safety innovation gains university backing from
De Montfort University Leicester, which we summarised at the time by saying "An invention to help reduce accidents in hospitals and laboratories is a step closer to commercial success after its creator tapped into university expertise".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Litigation to protect HPLC intellectual property from
Agilent Technologies Europe: "Agilent Technologies has filed litigation against Advanced Materials Technology (AMT) in the Delaware Court of Chancery to protect its high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) technology".
In December 2007, we covered the news from Ipsogen
concerning its Jak2
- take a look at Pilot study on Jak2 cancer biomarker
which says: "Ipsogen has entered into a pilot agreement with AstraZeneca to evaluate molecular services and products in cancer research".
Take a look also at the news release from Chromatide, Enzyme immobilisation via encapsulation,
as well as Acrongenomics to buy Molecular Vision from Acrongenomics,
and Wells Dairy uses E-WorkBook for corporate R+D from IDBS.
