What is the Lund University Technology Group

The Lund University Technology Group (or Forskarpatent as it is called in Swedish) is a company established in order to exploit the commercial value of the results of scientific and technical research, mainly at universities in southern Sweden, by helping in the processes of patenting and licensing.

Through agreements with individual scientists or groups of scientists, we offer professional help in matters associated with patenting and licensing. By investing in ideas, the Lund University Technology Group stimulates the introduction of Swedish research onto the market, but we are not a patent agency as such.
