The Commercialisation Program is the third of CSSIP’s three core
functions of research, education and commercialisation.
CSSIP was established in 1992 as part of the Australian Government’s
Cooperative Research Centre (“CRC”) Program. This program currently
funds sixty three CRC’s which work in six technology fields: Manufacturing,
IT, Mining and Energy, Agriculture, the Environment and Medicine.
CSSIP is part of the IT group and conducts research in the fields
of Signal and Information Processing.
CSSIP undertakes original and commercial research which results
in the development of new Intellectual Property (“IP”). The management
and marketing of this IP and of CSSIP’s research expertise is
the responsibility of the Commercialisation Program.
The research projects undertaken by CSSIP can be categorised
as:
-
Consultancies: CSSIP provides expertise to solve an
immediate problem over a short term
-
Applied Research: usually of one to two years duration
focused on research into areas of direct interest to a client
-
Basic Research: usually 3 years duration or more to
advance knowledge in an area where the client has an interest
and which may in the long term result in commercial use.
The ownership and rights to use IP developed during research
projects is negotiated on a project basis having regard to the
client’s and CSSIP’s needs. IP developed and owned by CSSIP is
available for licensing or sale.
To facilitate CSSIP’s interaction with the commercial world CSSIP
has established Spire Innovations Pty Ltd a company wholly owned
by the members of CSSIP. Spire holds an exclusive licence to commercialise
CSSIP’s IP through licensing, joint ventures, start-up companies
and the marketing of products. Spire also undertakes research
projects using CSSIP’s staff and facilities.
This web site includes details of IP available for commercial
use.
