Knowledge transfer of developed coating system from university laboratories to manufacturers

The process from development to the transfer of the final product takes place in several stages, and to achieve an effective transfer, the cooperation of the given actors is needed, both within each organization and inter-organizationally. At some stage, it is effective to choose the outsourcing route, both in the development phase and in the phase of intellectual property protection or transfer. The goal is to streamline processes so that investments in the intellectual property protection and transfer process ensure a sufficient return for participating organizations. In the example of a real case study, the issues of the development process with the mentioned limits are described, and a procedure is proposed for the effective launch of the product in the form of a coating system for the protection of oak heartwood through commercial partners from university laboratories.
