Spin-Off Company Development
An effective way for an inventor to capitalize on their
innovation is to create a new company solely devoted to manufacturing and
marketing their invention. These newly formed organizations are called
spin-off companies.
For example, if an inventor is working for the National Research Council
(NRC) and has created or discovered a groundbreaking technology, the
inventor can choose to create a new, spin-off company to market their new
technology effectively. This company would be referred to as a spin-off
from the NRC. This is a common practice, with the NRC creating over 50
spin-off companies since 1995. Spin-off companies are not to be confused
with start-up companies. Using the previous NRC example, a start-up
company would be comprised of non-NRC employees using NRC principles.
