Question
I'm a researcher at a German university. My team and I would like to commercialize a new kind of technology used in battery production. There will be some initial funding from a university fund with a potential outside investor later down the road. For now, there seems to be a limited budget for patent filings. How should we formulate our IP strategy based on this?

You may wish to find out whether your university has a technology transfer or IP department which helps researchers commercialise their inventions, be it through funding or commercialisation expertise. Some universities are prepared to fund the cost of IP protection in return for part ownership of the patent rights.
