UMIP is a division of UMI3 and is wholly owned by The University of Manchester, founded to commercialise relevant University research results.

THE UMIP MISSION

UMIP contributes to the aims and objectives of The University's "Exemplary Knowledge and Technology Transfer" agenda by providing Intellectual Property (IP) management and commercialisation activities:

  • transferring science and technology to the market place through IP sale, licence or spin-out.
  • making an important contribution to the economy regionally, nationally and internationally and to the quality of public life.
  • reinvesting returns from successful IP commercialisation activities back to the University, for example, through income from the sale of spin-out company shares or royalty income from licence agreements.

The University of Manchester Intellectual Property ("UMIP") acts solely as agent for the University in relation to any matter relating to intellectual property and know how created at the University ("IP"). This is whether such IP is created by employees, students or others. UMIP does not represent anyone else in such matters. If anyone else requires advice in relation to such IP then they must take their own independent legal advice.

World-Leading Research,
World-Beating Innovations

Dr Rich Ferrie: Director of IP Commercialisation, UMIP.

"What Manchester does today, the world does tomorrow"… such is the popular local saying which resonates with both the cultural development of our City and the scientific and technological innovations emanating from The University of Manchester.

With its roots in the industrial revolution, Manchester has always been amongst the innovation vanguard, world-famous for inventions, discoveries and research and for putting that knowledge to work in real-world applications. The University of Manchester has played a key role in this success, being the home of 25 Nobel laureates and a whole host of eminent scientists and technologists with prestigious international reputations.

UMIP – The University of Manchester Intellectual Property (IP) – is central to the University's innovation strategy and helps turn world-leading research into world-beating companies, products and services. In the last 5 years, the University's spin-out businesses have attracted over £150M of funding, whilst its intellectual property has been successfully licensed to multi-national companies and local business alike.

We believe that our success will continue to grow over the coming years and we intend to re-double our efforts, working with academics from all faculties, to ensure that our University realises its ambition of being one of the top research Universities in the world.
