In a move to reduce some of the barriers to IP transfer between academic research and entrepreneurship, the University of Glasgow has launched a new website "Easy Access IP" that will make some its intellectual property available to the public for free of charge, without cumbersome licensing rules and restrictions.
As Boing Boing's Cory Doctorow notes, the university's announcement about the release of its IP is somewhat confusing as it's not all the university research, papers, or patents. But it's still a noteworthy project. As the university press release notes, "while a small proportion of high value University of Glasgow IP will still be made available to industry through traditional licensing and spin-out companies alone, offering the bulk of IP to a larger audience for free adds value to the UK economy."
