Created by and for busy Tech Transfer professionals.
e-lucid was originally created as an internal tool by UCL Business, the commercialization company of University College London and its partner NHS Trusts.
Why e-lucid was created
e-lucid was developed in order to meet the challenges posed by the management of contracts for low-cost, high-volume IP assets – the small, frustrating tasks that occupy much of the time of tech transfer professionals who would prefer to focus their efforts on the big opportunities.
We soon realized that, much more than a process optimization tool and an online store, we had created a new way of interacting with our academics and with audiences that we never imagined having.
Thanks to e-lucid, we are now able to reach out to academics and re-assess business opportunities with IP assets that although they had already been offered through academic licenses, were previously unprofitable due to the high administrative burden required to market and license them.
Similarly, the benefit of having an automated system working around the clock, was that concluding MTAs with other organizations in different time zones could be done with the click of a button, reducing transaction times from weeks to a couple of days.

Why it was decided to share e-lucid
We suspected that the challenges faced by UCLB were likely to be the same in Universities the world over. When we reached out to colleagues, this was quickly confirmed.
In the spirit of collaboration and in alignment with UCLB’s vision to benefit society and the economy, e-lucid was opened up to all.
Since 2023, as an independent company, E-lucid Solutions Ltd has commercialised the e-lucid system as cloud software to more than 30 institutions worldwide.
