  1. University Based Technology Transfer Steve Bauer Director, RERC on Technology Transfer State of the Science Conference RERC on Advancing Cognitive Technologies Barriers to the Flow of Intellectual Property October 25-26, 2007 Denver, Colorado

  2. Acknowledgements • NIDRR • RERC on Advancing Cognitive Technologies • Cathy Bodine, Michael Lightner • RERC on Technology Transfer • UB colleagues & friends

  3. Patents and Trademarks Act • Governing legislation • Nonprofits receiving federal $ (universities+) • Assigns IP ownership to non-profits • Objectives • utilization of Federal R&D inventions • small business benefitting from Federal R&D • collaboration of nonprofits and private sector • increase competition and enterprise • commercialize Federal R&D inventions

  4. Patents and Trademarks Act • Assignee responsibilities • disclose assignment to funding agency • seek patent protection for invention • grant non-exclusive rights to funding agency • commercialize invention • cannot re-assign invention • share royalties with inventor Public benefit… NOT university enrichment

  5. TTO Metrics • Royalties+ • # Licenses • # Equity Positions • # Patents • # Patent Applications • # Market Reports • # Disclosures (Faculty) Corollaries: home runs, large & known markets, health sciences & engineering, IP gatekeepers…

  6. AUTM 2004 Annual Survey • 196 universities • 96 of 100 top universities • 84.5% of respondents (196 of 232) • $40.2B total revenue • $27.6B federal 65.7% • $2.9B private 7.2% [25%] • $1.4B royalty+ 3.5% 9.6~1.0 total > federal > private > license

  7. Business Metrics • Students • Faculty • Infrastructure • Collaborative research (non-IP) • Consortia (IP) • Technology • licensing • start ups Reference: AUTM 2006, U. Minnesota Manufacturer Survey

  8. Research Funding State & Federal Corporate Publications Patents… Tenure Teaching Mentorship Service Recognition NOT disclosures NOT intellectual property NOT business culture NOT startups NOT SBIR/STTR Faculty Metrics Disclosure ~ conference paper? Patent ~ journal paper? License ~ grant?

  9. Recommendations • University • new success metrics (total > private/public > royalty), combine TTO & SR, TTO (service provider), faculty AND corporations (customers), new TTO funding formula • Faculty • new faculty metrics, regular proactive communication, teach (business culture, disclosures, intellectual property, business start up, SBIR/STTR…) • Disclosure • short, lay, market, technology, competition, IP, business plan, contact, references

  10. Recommendations • Companies • adopt company metrics, establish network, regular proactive communication, practice business culture, all sizes & types • Brokering • inventor > direct marketing > reputable journals >> other • Intellectual property • adopt due diligence (intent of B.D.), patent, don’t fight over “new” IP (with companies, other universities)

  11. business, market, technical… legal Recommendations • Licensing • exploratory, access to inventor • Development • SBIR/STTR, R&D facilities, on campus R&D, incubators, start up funding, non-IP R&D, consortia • Other • knowledge & experience, contracts & collaborations
