IMPAC3T-IP

IMPAC3T-IP is an ambitious Coordination and Support Action that aims to develop, pilot and support the sustainable adoption of a scenario based licensing ToolBox through a certified user and trainer programme, for efficient IP licensing for market uptake and societal value creation. IMPAC3T-IP explores three main licensing scenarios:
IMPAC3T-IP

- Classical Plus – licensing that encompasses newer types of IP assets e.g. assets that are not patent based and are therefore different to the assets that have formed the main part of the traditional for-profit licensing approach.
- Crisis – licensing that takes place in repose to or to prevent crisis situations such as emerging or preventable medical emergencies.
- Co-creation – licensing that takes place as a result of interactions involving multiple different stakeholders and that goes beyond classical collaborations and contract research.

This will support licensing that goes beyond classical scenarios and embrace new technology trends in digitalisation of licensing tools. The initiative will benefit licensing professionals, researchers. innovative enterprises and policy makers.

The IMPAC3T-IP project is a 3-year action funded by the European Commission and starting in December 2023. META Group is in charge of the management and coordination of the project as well as of the communication, dissemination and sustainability work package.

IMPAC3T-IP Academy

Take-up and use of the IP-tool box will be supported by the IMPACT3T IP Academy. This will offer a fully subsidised training courses for individuals across Europe wanting to become a certified IMPAC3T-IP ‘user’ and ‘trainer’, including as part of a recognised Knowledge Transfer Professional qualification.

Special Interest Groups (SIG)

Development of the IP tool-box will take place with the support of three Special Interest Groups (SIGs). These will advise on the three scenarios as well as emerging technology trends in licensing e.g. increasing use of AI and Block-chain technologies. SIGs will have an early opportunity to test the tools and to join the subsidised training program through IMPAC3T-IP Academy.
