Universities present unique opportunities for collaboration due to their expertise across many divisions and fields of study. When collaborating with a university, key areas to consider include contractual obligations, intellectual property agreements, confidentiality, project management, and compliance with university policies. Intellectual property ownership, publication rights, non-disclosure agreements, and management of confidential information require special attention. Regular communication between all parties is important to ensure project objectives and deliverables are met. Universities can provide access to grants and expertise to support research collaborations and commercialization.

WINDING UP of COMPANY, Modes of DissolutionKHURRAMWALI
Winding up, also known as liquidation, refers to the legal and financial process of dissolving a company. It involves ceasing operations, selling assets, settling debts, and ultimately removing the company from the official business registry.
Here's a breakdown of the key aspects of winding up:
Reasons for Winding Up:
Insolvency: This is the most common reason, where the company cannot pay its debts. Creditors may initiate a compulsory winding up to recover their dues.
Voluntary Closure: The owners may decide to close the company due to reasons like reaching business goals, facing losses, or merging with another company.
Deadlock: If shareholders or directors cannot agree on how to run the company, a court may order a winding up.
Types of Winding Up:
Voluntary Winding Up: This is initiated by the company's shareholders through a resolution passed by a majority vote. There are two main types:
Members' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is solvent (has enough assets to pay off its debts) and shareholders will receive any remaining assets after debts are settled.
Creditors' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is insolvent and creditors will be prioritized in receiving payment from the sale of assets.
Compulsory Winding Up: This is initiated by a court order, typically at the request of creditors, government agencies, or even by the company itself if it's insolvent.
Process of Winding Up:
Appointment of Liquidator: A qualified professional is appointed to oversee the winding-up process. They are responsible for selling assets, paying off debts, and distributing any remaining funds.
Cease Trading: The company stops its regular business operations.
Notification of Creditors: Creditors are informed about the winding up and invited to submit their claims.
Sale of Assets: The company's assets are sold to generate cash to pay off creditors.
Payment of Debts: Creditors are paid according to a set order of priority, with secured creditors receiving payment before unsecured creditors.
Distribution to Shareholders: If there are any remaining funds after all debts are settled, they are distributed to shareholders according to their ownership stake.
Dissolution: Once all claims are settled and distributions made, the company is officially dissolved and removed from the business register.
Impact of Winding Up:
Employees: Employees will likely lose their jobs during the winding-up process.
Creditors: Creditors may not recover their debts in full, especially if the company is insolvent.
Shareholders: Shareholders may not receive any payout if the company's debts exceed its assets.
Winding up is a complex legal and financial process that can have significant consequences for all parties involved. It's important to seek professional legal and financial advice when considering winding up a company.
In 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs established a committee led by Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh, former Vice Chancellor of National Law University (NLU), Delhi. This committee was tasked with reviewing the three codes of criminal law. The primary objective of the committee was to propose comprehensive reforms to the country’s criminal laws in a manner that is both principled and effective.
The committee’s focus was on ensuring the safety and security of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Throughout its deliberations, the committee aimed to uphold constitutional values such as justice, dignity, and the intrinsic value of each individual. Their goal was to recommend amendments to the criminal laws that align with these values and priorities.
Subsequently, in February, the committee successfully submitted its recommendations regarding amendments to the criminal law. These recommendations are intended to serve as a foundation for enhancing the current legal framework, promoting safety and security, and upholding the constitutional principles of justice, dignity, and the inherent worth of every individual.
3. • Universities are a Unique Situation
• A university is like a company with several
divisions and a great deal of expertise and they
are:
• a great untapped resource!
4. • Collaborative Schemes
• University Consultancy
• KESS Studentships (Knowledge Exchange Studentships)
• ATM Studentships (Access to Masters)
• TSB – Technology Strategy Board
• KTP - Knowledge Transfer Partnerships
• Research Councils
• (In future there may be schemes reinstated such as A4B/CIRP
subject to funding)
• LEAD – Management Training
5. • Main areas where issues arise for a collaboration
• Contractual issues
• IP
• Confidentiality
• Project management and delivery
• Compliance with University Policies
6. • Contractual Issues
• Correct Parties Included - parent company/subsidiaries?
• Are the aims of the contract clearly defined?
• Are the obligations in the contract reasonable – can they be
delivered on time?
• Parameters that a university has to work within – e.g.
warranties, liabilities, freedom of information requests
• Has the University managed a third party’s expectations and are
work plans in place to deliver the project?
7. IP
• What IP are we talking about – patents, know how, copyright?
• How is the background and foreground IP delineated?
• Who are the inventors – staff, students, third party?
• Is IP to be assigned?
• Licenses?
• When can academics publish?
• Freedom to use for academic research
• What do the parties receive in income if the IP is exploited?
• Who is going to manage the IP connected with a project?
• Ongoing consultancy work and collaborations?
8. Confidentiality
• Academics want to publish a commercial partner may not if a
patent application is to be filed – need to discuss
• Once a patent application is filed, how are future publications
by academics handled?
• NDAs
• Management of confidential information?
• Are research groups working for competing industrial partners –
how are conflicts handled?
• What if research staff move institutions?
• Freedom of Information requests
9. Project Management and Delivery
• Aims of the project and milestones
• Is the business manager also aware of what the deliverables are
and have they a plan in place to keep the project on track
• Are the deliverables realistic?
• Outputs – is everyone clear on what these are?
• Relationship management – contacts?
• Reporting?
• Can future projects arise from a current project – how are these
propositions put forward to collaborators/funders?
10. • Liability
• For a University this is limited – will not accept indirect and
consequential liabilities
• If you are dealing with overseas companies, will there be
different types of liabilities particular to that country?
• Money laundering, good governance
• Ethics e.g. working with human tissue
• Implied terms e.g. Sale of Goods Act
11. Compliance with University IP Policies
• Student IP Policy
• IP Policy for Staff
• Conflicts Policy
All have been set up to provide a framework for all those studying at
or who are employed by the university to help them minimise
risk for the university and themselves
They also put in place a framework that helps the university work
with third parties more effectively
12. • Main issues that need to be considered when working with a University …..
• NDAs should be signed by authorised signatories of the University
• Be aware of IP policies at the university, they are there to help all parties
• Know what the objectives are of research contracts and make a project plan
• Be aware of IP requirements that funders may have put in place
• Keep project managers informed of the progress of the project
• Keep in mind possible conflicts between various projects so conflicts can be managed
• Record data on a regular basis and keep good lab books, it will provide useful
evidence of what was done when if there is ever litigation
• Keep in regular touch with university TTOs (Technology Transfer Offices) in case there
are issues that could affect commercialization
• Be aware of the risks associated with IP e.g. infringement of third party rights
13. • Final Points
• Third mission activities include helping companies, especially in Wales and the
convergence area
• There is world class expertise in Wales for research collaborations or consultancy
work
• The legal teams and Tech Transfer Offices of the universities have a lot of expertise
and can assist greatly in project management and commercialization
• There are grant applications that universities can access if collaborations are going on
with third parties e.g. FP7 and Horizon 2020
• Research is a collaboration so there needs to be input and dialogue between both
sides to have a successful outcome
• By working together we can make Wales a more vibrant economy which attracts
inward investment and jobs and raises the profile of Wales in the world
