Sussex IP is a wholly owned subsidiary company of the University of Sussex, and exclusively manages and commercialises the University’s intellectual property (IP) portfolio.

Our dedicated team of industry professionals assists in licensing, the formation of spin-out companies and joint ventures, and business support services, in order to market new technologies developed at Sussex.

The University of Sussex is a leading research university, as reflected in the 2001 national Research Assessment Exercise. All subjects at Sussex were rated as either grade 4 or 5, recognising research of national and international standard respectively. Over 90% of staff are researching at this high level, the majority in areas of international excellence. One of the University’s main objectives is to transfer this knowledge to the business community through Sussex IP.
