Case Study: University of Hull achieves seamless IP support and growth in spinout activity with Wellspring

University of Hull extends IP support beyond 1 year with Wellspring

The University of Hull faced a significant gap in their Tech Transfer Office staffing after the departure of their IP Officer. The university commissioned Wellspring to provide cradle-to-grave technology transfer support to ensure seamless operations while they recruited a replacement.

Wellspring provided hands-on support for hundreds of cases, including new invention disclosures and patent applications, by working closely with the university's team. As a result, the University of Hull seamlessly continued its IP operations with little disruption. The team was so impressed with the quality of service that they extended the support contract with Wellspring instead of hiring a new IP Officer, and they have seen growth in spinout activity.
