CRT business managers work with research scientists as they are undertaking their research, to identify possible new discoveries that might have clinical and/or commercial potential. Once an invention has been made, the business manager and scientist assemble the necessary data to determine if the invention can be protected and if there are other possible applications that might enhance the value to a commercial partner. The skill and dedication of CRT’s business managers, supported by in-house legal and patent expertise, ensures a rigorous evaluation.
