Technology transfer



Like all Max Planck Institutes, IPP conducts scientific research freely and independently: All results are subject to publication. Technology transfer to industry is done in different ways:
  • exploitation of patents and licences
  • direct cooperation with partners in industry
  • establishment of new companies
Since 1984 IPP's patent department has supervised about 950 domestic and foreign patents. Presently, seven patents are licensed. They are exploited in conjunction with "Max-Planck-Innovation GmbH", a company belonging to the Max Planck Society.

An efficient way of transferring know-how gained at IPP for industrial application is the award of study and production contracts for the manufacture of components suitable for power plants: This already allows industrial companies involved in construction of present fusion experiments to acquire the special know-how beyond the state of the art that will be required for building a future power plant. The exchange of information exceeds the specific scope of the particular contract and acts as a fruitful stimulus for further collaboration. Areas particularly concerned are magnetic filed technology, control technology and data processing, high-frequency technology, and high-temperature and high-load materials technology.
