Novosibirsk Challenging issues (1) • Universities are forced by the government to apply for the patents but they are not interested in the IP commercialization (use of IP in business projects), so the quality of the patent is quite low. • Universities do not have funds to apply for the PCT applications or foreign patents. 8

Novosibirsk Challenging issues (2) • Private investors are not interested in the investments to the start-up company, if their IP belongs to the State University, they are complicated procedures of getting permission from the state authority in order to license a patent. • Inventors (graduates, engineers, professors) are not interested in commercialization, as they receive the remuneration for the use of patent from the University or Institute, not from the start-up company or an Industrial company. 9
