Intellectual property – protection and exploitation

The TU Darmstadt and HIGHEST offer an excellent environment and diverse support for the protection and exploitation of intellectual property. We advise on patenting and exploitation strategies and accompany you in the process of invention and patent application. We provide support in exploitation activities, arrange company contacts and help in the search for funding or project partners – confidentially and independently.

TU ideas competition

This competition offers members of the TU Darmstadt the opportunity to present and promote their own innovative product or business ideas or research results with exploitation potential. Your submissions will be tested for their marketing or innovation potential by experts from industry and research in a protected environment. After a multi-stage selection process, the best ideas will be awarded prizes and presented to representatives from business and politics in an appropriate setting.
