You must not have shared it in any way (e.g. conference talk, publication, data repository) before the patent is established. Make sure to establish a clear timeline so you do not hinder your commercialisation plan by mistake. 16 Commercial exploitation H Share and reuse by citing: England, J., Tsoukala, V., Nielsen, L.H. & Dolinar, M. 2025. 10.5281/zenodo.17534323 under CC-BY 4.0 OpenAIRE webinar | 07 Nov 2025 17 Rights Retention Statement This work was funded by the Εuropean Union under the Horizon Europe grant [grant number].
