Intellectual Property Workshop: Bridging Lab and Market

​IP Strategy and Commercialization for Scientific Innovation

​TUM Venture Labs and Atlantic Labs invite researcher, founder and innovators to a workshop on how to turn scientific discoveries into real-world ventures — and why intellectual property plays such a central role.

​We’ll explore what happens when research leaves the lab: how IP transfer works, what investors look for, and how to set up your project for success. Expect honest insights, practical examples, and plenty of space for your questions.

​Agenda

• ​15 min: Introduction of TUM Venture Labs (Sciencepreneurship by Tobias Ruzok) and TUM ForTe Patents & Licences (TUM IP & TUM Fast Track by Katja Siegers)

• ​30 min: IP Strategy with patent attorney Roland Pültz

• ​30 min: Perspectives from an early-stage investor

• ​45 min: Q&A and open discussion

​Who should join
Researcher (e.g., doctoral candidates/PhDs, Postdocs), founder and anyone interested in translating academic work into practical impact — whether you’re already working on an invention or just wondering where to start.
