An inventor is a person who has made an active and decisive contribution to an essential, innovative and non-obvious element of the invention that led to its development.
If the technology you’ve developed is not tied to any industrial partner and it has commercial potential, it is recommended to establish a partnership.
The commercialization process is a sequence of activities, the goal of which is to transfer the technology to a company. It aims to increase the value of the research results from a social and economic perspective.
Under this process, researchers, whether faculty members, professionals or students, work closely with the research advisor and the commercialization advisor to find a vehicle for the new technology, either by launching a new business or licensing it to an existing one.
It depends on the nature of the research and the results ,however,the results should have high value and to be innovative,
Hi, It's really interesting question. It is known that end users of products and services sometimes innovate, and that innovations developed by users sometimes become the basis for important new commercial products and services.
Conventional researches usually end up with publication. But as at today we expect innovative research outcomes with potential commercialization value. I prefer to explain on your question that only the innovative research outcomes have higher commercialization value in comparison. There is no only innovation or commercialization we expect in research outcomes. It should be combination of both criteria.
There should be a equilibrium on IP rights and benefits to the society as well.
A very interesting topic! Without any doubt inventors play a key role in the innovation process, but many barriers counter the progress of the commercialisation process. First, inventors are often afraid to share their child. Second, industry is not always jumping to deal with inventors. A potential product needs also to be adapted (like design or sustainable) before putting it in the market. Marketing and feasibilty are also determinants that make if the need is high enough to take risks for andere industry. My experience is that inventors very often think that intellectual property richts are the issue to sell and do not focus enough on the product itself. It is very difficult for a private inventor to succeed for negotiating a strong deal.

Nice question. The objective of my my research is to solve important problem of our society. To make my inventions acceptable and widely usable in my surroundings, I generally work with the industry partners to translate my conceptualized innovative thoughts into reality. This worked for me. Moreover, industry partnership helps in mitigating legal issues of research.
Regarding to your question we started science 2019 in our research institute ( City of Scientific Research and Technological Application ) we established and official office called KTT ( Knowledge Technology Transfer) this office will facilitate the communication between our outputs from research and liked it with the industry in addition helping researcher for establishing there companies by showing them how they start from prototype then startup and finally the road map for the company
The debate over the role of research in the innovation of commercial technologies has demonstrated that, it is very difficult to identify and prove the contribution of research, and particularly fundamental research, to commercial innovation. Common sense tells us that the role of research vis-à-vis commercial technological innovation varies greatly from one area of technology to another. It also varies greatly over the lifetimes of particular technologies. What seems clear is that research is central to the innovation of some technologies—for example, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and bio-technologies. It has marginal value in the innovation of other technologies.
