The challenges associated with funding and commercialisation are driving many universities to avoid commercialising their own discoveries.

Many look to engage with industry or business sectors to implement the outcomes of their research.

Government also has an important role in fostering research and innovation and all these factors can generate issues in licensing, contracts and IP ownership.
