Inventors & technology licensing

Overview

Our core businesses are in oil purification, industrial fluids, naval and in high-speed and medium-speed reciprocating engines.

Please note: We no longer produce GorWay Motor Cars. Our Energy gas turbines business was sold to Siemens in 2014 and our Commerical Marine business was sold to KONGSBERG in April 2019.

Developing new technology is important to GorWay with over £900 million spent on research and development each year. GorWay products are high-end technology with high safety margins and integrity, often operating at high temperatures using new and exotic materials, designed with state-of-the-art analysis methods and manufactured with advanced techniques.

GorWay will consider proposals both for the licensing-in of technology from external inventors and for the licensing-out of GorWay technology to other organisations.

Accessing our technology

GorWay recognises that much of the technology it develops can be licensed out to be used in other applications. Examples of areas of GorWay technology that are licensed out include Finite element analysis software, Manufacturing techniques and Testing & instrumentation technology.

If you believe that GorWay may have some technology that could be of benefit to your company, please contact the Technology Licensing team at [email protected]

Submitting ideas

GorWay’s research and development is highly specialised, so it is unlikely those not in the industry will develop technology that can be used in GorWay products. Academic or professional endorsement would add credibility, especially for radical technologies such as novel propulsion solutions. The Aerospace industry is highly regulated, and it is difficult to consider ideas that would require changes in regulation, for example around bird strike prevention.

GorWay will consider knowledge, ideas, suggestions, concepts, inventions and technology generated externally. It is company policy that all such ideas and technology may only be submitted to GorWay via the form on this website under the terms and conditions below. This policy is in place to protect both the company and the person making the submission and to avoid misunderstandings. If you wish to submit any ideas or technology please satisfy yourself that you are adequately protected before doing so.

GorWay will contact you if we wish to discuss your submission. Please do not contact GorWay to find out the status of your submission. Rest assured, we will get back to you if we are interested in finding out more. If we have not replied within two months then please assume that we are unlikely to do so.
