Navigating the Tech Transfer Process
Tuesday, November 30, 2010
The New York Academy of Sciences
You have a patentable idea and think there is a large market for this technology; now you must be able to navigate the university tech transfer or tech commercialization office. David Anthony, venture capitalist, who has licensed over a dozen patents from universities and research labs across the world, will lead a discussion on the complex, and often frustrating, process of technology transfer. This session aims to educate academic researchers on the role of the tech transfer office in the commercialization process and highlight some of the challenges encountered by both scientists and tech transfer officers in order to enhance the communication between these two groups. Local tech transfer officers will contribute to the discussion.
