Licensing @SSSA
Direct Licensing: along with other researchers,
through business partners (spin-offs, project partners,
local businesses)
Licensing through: SSSA has established an
agreement with a company (MITO S.r.l.) for
promoting the licensing of five patents
Internal procedures: for the assignment of patents of
SSSA to third parties (approval by the Board of CVR,revision of the agreement and monitoring of
revenues and contract and expiry dates)

Support to IP management
- UVR provides support to the Institutes andcooperate with the Legal Department for the
drafting of the clauses relating to the aspects of IP,
particularly in contracts research with third parties
- usually companies and other agreements(NDAs, MTAs)
- UVR has drawn up some templates of agreements
and evaluates the draft of the agreements trying
to find the most appropriate solution to protect
the interests of researchers

Italian TT Association of Universities and Public Research Organizations for the valorization
of results from public research. Founded in 2002 and Association since 2007
MISSION: to be theresearch interface for Ministries and local administrations, industrial
associations and industries, venture capitalists and financial bodies to promote the role ofpublic research in innovation processes
OBJECTIVES
protection and exploitation of research results from public research through education,
dissemination, patenting, licensing, public-private cooperation and start up promotion
improvement of links between universities and companies to enhance research results
based on industrial competitiveness (networking, managing research and know how,
contract tools, joint labs)

Wave Energy Main Project
Materialscharacterization andModelling
Test-bench Wave-Tank testing
We are developing on a new class of wave energy converters that are based on rubber-like materials that are able to directly convert oscillating mechanical energy into
electricity.
These new materials, called Dielectric Elastomers presents extremely promising attributesin terms of costs, energy density and enable new perspectives in producing generatorsthat are low-cost, reliable and highly efficient irrespective of the solicitation frequencies.

irborne Wind Energy
Airborne Wind Energy is an emerging sector in wind energy. The challenging goal is toharvest wind energy at high altitude (not reachable by traditional wind turbine). This is
achieved through autonomous flying tethered kites. This techniques is extremelypromising for the low-cost and the prospected high efficiency of the systems.
Collaborations:
Kitegen S.r.l., Sequoia Technology, Delft U.
Activities:
- Modelling of AWE converters
- Design of Offshore systems
- Aerodynamic cable design
Giant-kite developed for a 3MW systems, By KiteGEN
