The European Commission view - something is done
"... FP7 projects need to demonstrate their 'scientific and technical
excellence'."
"... proposals are (evidently) expected to possess an innovative nature.
One way of demonstrating this is to identify the state of the art by
conducting not only a bibliographic search in classical scientific literature
but also a search in patent databases."
"It is clearly in the interest of the participants and the Commission to avoid
duplication of research efforts and potential waste of both public
(Community) and private (participants’) funds."

Transfer is measured as the relationship between source country of inventions
(“inventor country”) and countries in which protection of the intellectual property has been sought.
