ºÚÁϳԹÏ

The FLITe research centre involves researchers and practitioners from the fields of intellectual property and emerging technologies law, innovation, sustainability, economics, artificial intelligence, data science and robotics.

Our core mission is knowledge transfer. We help the people and organisations that we work with, as well as broader society, to better understand the relationship between law, innovation and technology, and to discover how best to use this understanding for commercial benefit and societal impact. 

FLITe brings together a diverse and interconnected body of researchers from different faculties across the ºÚÁϳԹÏ, as well as from other research intensive universities both in the UK and Europe. Our members also include industry facing personnel from technology transfer offices, and patent attorneys and patent examiners from leading law firms and NGOs including the European Patent Office. 

Research highlights

We aim to develop outputs in:

• Research â€” bringing together our expertise in law, innovation and technology to address the full spectrum of issues at the forefront of these disciplines
• Education â€” by producing executive and professional development programmes that combine a comprehensive grounding in our core disciplines, along with a practical application to industry
• Knowledge transfer â€” by partnering with organisations across industry, government and academia to support them in solving complex challenges using approaches and knowledge developed within FLITe
