Patent and IP strategy NIZO food research to protect customers interests

Intellectual property rights and proprietary know-how are important for industry. It is therefore NIZO’s strategy to protect and develop IP in the context of contract research for the benefit of our customers. This means that the customer can establish patents resulting from research commissioned to NIZO food research.

One of the important parts in the collaboration agreement made with our customers is the definition of the field, geography and/or duration in which IP is exclusive for the customers.

NIZO food research has a few important patents in the controlled (induced) expression and production of proteins using the NICE system. Furthermore, patents were granted on encapsulation and flavour release as well as the ISI-heater.
