Nevertheless, since IP licensing forms an integral part of the university business model, universities will need to re-evaluate their risk assessment processes and voluntary notification procedures.<\/p>\n<p>As of March 2022, the government had received 22 notifications under the Act, of which 17 had been called-in for assessment. BEIS recently published a set of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/publications\/national-security-and-investment-nsi-act-market-guidance-notes\/national-security-and-investment-market-guidance-notes-july-2022\">market guidance notes<\/a> providing practical advice in making notifications, information about whether certain types of acquisitions are qualifying acquisitions, and help for higher education institutions to decide whether to notify the UK government under the Act.<\/p>\n<h4>Entering China is a key decision for businesses of all sizes.
