| Sep 6, 2015 at 3:55 | comment | added | Lamar Latrell | @vonbrand - Fair enough, although I've developed it over 6 months and have a commercial application already ... (well, non-profit, but that's my decision). It's funny your comment comes just now, I only just sent the email to them, for the moment I'm choosing to (perhaps naively) expect the best. Developments in this industry are usually initially used in-house, and sold as a proprietary and exclusive service. If there is enough general interest they'll develop a good interface and sell licences and training, the price then drops drastically, but then the volume ramps up... | |

The initial industry I was applying the project to is smallish, secretive and competitive. But interestingly, I've since realised my solution could generalise to other fields. | |
| Aug 18, 2015 at 3:15 | comment | added | Lamar Latrell | It's hard to gauge where they are at in terms of development, or where my implementation would sit comparatively. Maybe it's naive and already in the collective knowledge base, maybe with a small adjustment here and there it's the conceptual breakthrough they been looking for ... As my project didn't require a unique contribution to the field (it is coursework) I simply found something I was interested in that would 'show off my skills'.... | |

| Aug 18, 2015 at 1:14 | comment | added | Mad Jack | Is there anything I should be aware of regarding intellectual property (according to my university we own the IP for our projects) — Sounds like you will need to execute a nondisclosure agreement (NDA), possibly a three-way NDA, between you/your institution, the other institution, and the company. I suggest getting your advisor in the loop to help you navigate the logistics of such an arrangement and to help you establish contact with the other parties involved. Getting the others on board may be a challenge, though; it really depends on what you bring to the table and what their needs are. | |
