Commercialization is the process which is connected with practical employment of R&D for the purpose of launch of new and modified products as well as services or processes which are aimed at gaining commercial effect. Usually, it is started where R&D is already finished and there is clearly specified product or service which has features and advantages that represent value for commercial consumers. Commercialization is done when the product is successfully launched, in general, when the break-even point is reached, i.e. sales’ profit exceeds operating costs. At that, commercialization can take three main forms:
- Launch of new business project for the purpose of technology commercial employment;
- License sale to operating business on technology employment;
- Technology exploitation by means of rendering services including technical consulting, analytical and expert services as well as research on contracts.
