As the research management centre of UKM, CRIM hands over completed researches and intellectual properties (IP) to PIK for protection, either to be patented, copyrighted or trademarked.
When the research or IP is ready to be commercialised, it is then assigned to UKM Tech that manages the commercialisation of the IP either through licensing or via a start-up company.
UKM Tech, established on 28 May 2009, is the Technology Transfer Company as well as the Holding Company for UKM start-up companies and fully owned by the university. Currently it has successfully set up the 33 university start-ups from technologies with IP.
It aims to step up the commercialisation of UKM’s R&D and Intellectual Properties by bringing them to the global market.
