– IP owned and managed by the Catapults – Responsibility to disseminate and make available – Catapult free to use, license, share, dispose of, within State Aid rules
– Foreground rights generally remain with customer – All IP generated is owned by the Customer
– Collaborators own the IP dependent on what they put in (funding input, Know-How, equipment, ideas, etc) OR – Assign ownership to a single collaborator, deal with any claims to the IP through subsequent licensing on a ‘need and use basis’. – Catapult can own IP or act as ‘mediator’

A national centre to rapidly advance the UK’s best digital ideas to market, creating new products, services, jobs and value for the UK economy.
The Digital Catapult helps UK businesses unlock new value from sharing closed data in better and more trusted ways. How we do this:
We focus on four challenge areas:
that allow the UK to safely mix their closed data and open it up to innovators
industries by making the reuse of creative content easier
a convening force in creating large scale IoT demonstrators.
Addresses Natural Monopoly Issues: Open access facilities, often one-of-a-kind in the UK; No single company (esp. SMEs) or supply chain could create/maintain such centres at the leading edge Increases scale, speed and scope of commercialisation: Commercialising swiftly & effectively makes difference between being a market leader or follower; Focus activities on riskier investments Enhance value through collaboration: Work across institutional boundaries, bringing together people with complementary skills sets Convening and Collaborating: ‘Neutral convener’ role vital to bring together a wide group of stakeholders
