At RT Coopers we focus on the technological advances occurring within the university industry sector and provide a full legal service to universities, spinout companies, investors, technology transfer officers and researchers on all aspects of technology transfer. We combine specialist scientific knowledge and understanding of this industry sector with the legal expertise required to exploit any technology and/or products. We bring a wealth of experience to technology transfer and we can relate to scientists from all disciplines. Dr Rosanna Cooper CChem FRSC, who is in charge of technology transfer, worked as a postdoctoral scientist and as a senior chemist in the pharmaceutical and paper industries. As there are a number of legal issues surrounding the exploitation of technology and/or products, it is advisable to seek advice as early as the varying stages of research and development of a project and especially at the outset of negotiations with third parties.
