For Scientists
As an inventor at Heidelberg University, we are at your side throughout the entire innovation process. We support you in evaluating your invention, guide you through the intellectual property rights process right up to the patent application, and ensure that your technology is exploited to the fullest. We work closely with you and use our expertise and extensive network to optimize technology transfer.
For Companies
In many areas of the university, there are now close collaborations with industry. The university thus ensures that its inventions find their way into society. For industry, this offers an attractive way to participate in the latest developments in the university environment. In the following, we provide information on potential areas of cooperation, our services with regard to contract management and the comprehensive technology areas covered.
Who we are
The patent exploitation agency ScienceValue Heidelberg GmbH (SVH) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Heidelberg University and is commissioned by the university to exploit scientific findings and technologies from university research in the business sector. SVH is responsible for all faculties at Heidelberg University. Its comprehensive range of services in the areas of intellectual property (IP), invention management, and patent exploitation can therefore be utilized by all employees of Heidelberg University.
Patent Exploitation Agency
The implementation of research results in future products and the transfer of newly developed technologies is the core task of ScienceValue Heidelberg GmbH (SVH), which was newly founded in November 2019. As a patent exploitation agency and wholly owned subsidiary of Heidelberg University, SVH acts at the interface between academic research and industrial development, serving university and university-related institutions.
Synergies of Science and Business
In order to use the synergies of science and business as efficiently as possible, technology transfer at universities takes various forms. Within the innovation system, funds can be generated that can be reinvested in the university infrastructure, which means a constant further development of research and teaching. This also generates a significant advantage for business enterprises, as they can benefit in a reciprocal relationship from the existing infrastructure and the resources of the universities, but also support the development of innovations to market maturity. The SVH has made it its business to accompany and coordinate this interaction, so that we can assist you in all questions of technology transfer. Just contact us directly!
