Studies on the Commercialization of Research Outcomes with a License at Jambi University

Higher education institutions are one of the centers of research activities throughout the world. The amount of research and research results that can be commercialized is not comparable. The policies for the independent campus and the independent learning have an influence on the research amount. Research outcomes must reach the community and technology transfer and are carried out through legal mechanisms. One of them is with a license. This paper describes the commercialization of research outcomes at Jambi university. The purpose of this paper is to look at the legal aspects of the commercialization of research outcomes and how the license accommodates the commercialization of them at Jambi university.
