EASIER ENGAGEMENT:THE CONTR ACT CONTINUUM

GEORGIA TECH WAS ONE OF THE FIRST UNIVERSITIES TO OFFER THIS NE W MODEL OF CONTR ACTING. OUR CONTR ACT CONTINUUM HAS SERVED AS A FRAMEWORK ADOPTED BY OTHER ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES.

LOOKING BACK

Five years ago, the Office of Industry Engagement introduced the Contract Continuum to make it easier for industry to engage with Georgia Tech faculty at any point in the research and development (R&D) process—from early stage research to product testing.

These four types of agreements for industry-sponsored research offer straightforward IP terms, streamlined contract negotiation, and opportunities to engage with the university on the full range of R&D activities.

Benefits for Georgia Tech As a leader in industry-funded research and technology transfer, Georgia Tech benefits from the Contract Continuum. These agreements ensure the university’s most promising research innovations have the greatest opportunity to be developed into products and services that will benefit society.

The Contract Continuum has created more opportunities for industry to collaborate with Georgia Tech researchers across the development spectrum.

Our contracting mechanisms make it easier for industry to collaborate with our researchers and engage with our students. The Contract Continuum minimizes negotiations and provides clear IP terms, which makes it very appealing to our collaborators.

Basic Research Agreements Exploring potential solutions in a broad subject area Basic Research Agreements are typically established to consider

scientific questions that lay the foundation for technological

progress. These early collaborations are often the foundation for

new products that spur business growth for a company.

Applied Research Agreements Exploring viability and overcoming practical challenges Applied Research Agreements enable the industry collaborator

to develop and launch a product with very low risk, gaining a

first-mover advantage. They are also used to leverage Georgia

Tech’s expertise and state-of-the-art equipment for testing the

product in the final stages of development, helping the company

ensure it is market-ready.

Demonstration Agreements Improving existing technology Demonstration Agreements provide an opportunity for a

company to improve existing technology under a straightforward

and advantageous intellectual property policy. Companies shall

have exclusive rights to any improvements to their background

IP at no additional cost. Any improvements to IP licensed from

Georgia Tech shall be incorporated into the terms and conditions

of the original licensing agreement.

Specialized Testing Agreements Evaluating new/existing products Specialized Testing Agreements provide a cost-effective and

secure way for companies to access cutting-edge equipment

without making a large capital investment. This work is often

instrumental in enabling a successful product launch.

DEEPER COLLABORATIONS:ENTERPRISE AGREEMENTS

LOOKING BACK

F Y 17: $7.2 MILLIONF Y 18 : $10.0 MILLION

ENTERPRISE AGREEMENT TOTALS

In fiscal year 2016, we established our Enterprise Agreements program to respond to changes in how industry—particularly large, global companies—wanted to engage with universities. Specifically, these companies sought to engage more deeply with fewer institutions. They also wanted to minimize ongoing negotiations by having all R&D projects fall under a single agreement mechanism.

Our quick and strategic response was designed to ensure Georgia Tech would be the university of choice for these types of major agreements. We created a dedicated team that focuses exclusively on developing, negotiating, and managing these highly complex agreements.

An Enterprise Agreement spans a wide range of Georgia Tech departments and labs while also cutting across the company’s many business units and subsidiaries. Each relationship is tailored to fit the company’s unique research goals across multiple projects while also providing strategic value to Georgia Tech.

Here are just two examples of these mutually beneficial agreements.

Delta Air Lines From Industrial Design to Advanced Manufacturing The Enterprise Agreement with Delta Air Lines has provided several million dollars in funding to Georgia Tech. The opportunities for collaborative research have been significant, with projects occurring within two important facilities funded by Delta.

The Hangar is a global innovation center located in Technology Square in downtown Atlanta. Within its walls, faculty and students are researching new technologies and designs that have the potential to improve overall operations and the customer experience.

The Advanced Manufacturing Pilot Facility integrates physical and cyber manufacturing technology and provides a testbed site where early stage concepts can go from idea to reality. The facility establishes Georgia Tech as a national leader in advanced manufacturing.

Ford Motor Company Comprehensive CollaborationUnder the engagement with Ford, all of the company’s automotive business units have the ability to engage with our researchers to solve problems and provide technical solutions. Since its signing, the agreement has generated more than $1 million in research funding for Georgia Tech faculty.

In addition, this agreement established an innovative model for submitting research proposals for Ford funding. As Georgia Tech faculty develop their research proposals, they have the opportunity to work with Ford employees. This close collaboration helps ensure the project goals and scope align not only with the researcher’s pursuits, but also with Ford’s challenges and roadmaps. As a result, roughly half of Georgia Tech’s proposals receive funding from Ford—an exceptionally high acceptance rate.

Georgia Tech IP

Marketing the Opportunities The Office of Industry Engagement reinvigorated the marketing program to:

To achieve these important goals, we hired a dedicated marketing professional tasked with developing and implementing the strategies.

Market data informed our industry efforts, enabling us to target the right companies and events. We also analyzed our own data to ensure our work was outcome-focused and designed to achieve measurable results.

We sought to increase the office’s visibility among Georgia Tech researchers, helping them understand the opportunities to engage with industry, participate in commercialization, and protect Georgia Tech’s IP.

Our focused attention on both outreach to industry and “inreach” to the campus community increased the frequency and quality of our interactions, leading to more research opportunities for our faculty and students and expanded use of Georgia Tech IP.

Our success has stemmed from a combination of pursuing new industry opportunities, maximizing the value of our current relationships, and streamlining conversations between researchers and company representatives.

Streamlining Nondisclosure Agreements (NDAs)We formed the Exchange Agreements group to increase the efficiency of establishing agreements that enable Georgia Tech to work with its collaborators while still protecting the institution’s intellectual property. A new online system provides faculty with a quick and easy way to request NDAs. Housed at https://nda.gatech.edu, the online interface has accelerated the processing of NDAs, with most being executed within a couple of weeks or even a matter of days. This system also:

Georgia Tech faculty have appreciated this simplified method for submitting NDA requests. And thanks to focused user testing, the system’s launch was smooth sailing. This past fiscal year we processed nearly 800 NDAs for Georgia Tech’s research community.

Leveraging Student InternsWe expanded our internship program to include a cadre of graduate and undergraduate students to provide additional support to our efforts to market Georgia Tech IP.

Our interns now participate in many aspects of the IP management and technology transfer process, including:

» Evaluating new inventions’ market potential » Performing preliminary analysis for applications of new technologies » Developing technology-focused promotional materials » Assisting with social media efforts

Through these internships, students gain a greater understanding of strategic academic industry collaborators and how they impact economic activity.

Facilitates follow-up

Electronic filing makes it easier to track data.

The Office of Industry Engagement provides companies with the opportunity to match their needs with Georgia Tech technologies. We first find out what the company’s challenges and initiatives are. Then we connect them with the Georgia Tech researchers and innovations needed to achieve its strategic goals. This could be through sponsored research or licensing our intellectual property. Here are just a few of the many collaboration agreements we have advanced in fiscal year 2018.

Xenesis and JPL: Easing Satellite Information Bottleneck Thanks to a new $1.2 million sponsored research agreement, Georgia Tech’s laser communications experts are helping to improve the rate at which data travel from low-Earth orbit spacecraft to systems on the ground. Satellite communications provider Xenesis licensed laser communications transceiver technology from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and is collaborating with Georgia Tech to adapt it for commercial use.

The collaborators’ goal is to miniaturize the original technology and test the improved system from space. While the initial focus of the research will be space-to-ground communications, the collaborators envision making low-cost, high-volume data services available worldwide by cross-linking communication between future networks of thousands of small spacecraft.

NxN Licensing: Promising a Vibrant Future Georgia Tech has licensed its technology for sheer films that can instantaneously change the appearance of glass, plastics, and metals to NxN Licensing. Under this license, NxN will help companies develop the means to customize the color, opacity, and clarity of their products. Potential applications include personal and commercial electronics, eyewear, clothing, mirrors, windows, and even hair and skin products.

Its unique consortium approach enables NxN to collaborate with companies in various vertical markets—from automotive and cosmeceutical, to residential and commercial design and construction. By integrating Georgia Tech’s innovation into these markets, NxN enables its customers to individualize their products to their tastes at the touch of a button.

UCB: Improving Epilepsy Treatment It is currently difficult to determine which drug might work for each epilepsy patient. Therefore, the biopharmaceutical company UCB has been collaborating with Georgia Tech to explore predictors of medication success to help identify the best treatment option for an epilepsy patient faster. The technology uses machine learning techniques based on large quantities of health data. Demonstrations on the interoperability of the technology have been conducted using patient data provided by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs via a public-private partnership.

In fiscal year 2018, the project team began the quality assurance and validation process for the predictive model and its algorithms.

The Office of Industry Engagement has been a major help in the UCB collaboration. From protecting IP to adding amendments to accommodate the project’s growth, they have been very flexible and helped us keep up with the pace of industry.

CHANGES IN COMMERCIALIZATION:SHIFTING TO STRATEGIC COLLABORATORS

LOOKING FORWARD

In a world of innovation that is constantly evolving, change is inevitable. Industry-

sponsored research at universities has been growing into something more strategic

and collaborative. This has increased the impact and value of university discoveries

for companies and, by extension, the U.S. economy.

Looking back over the successes of the past several years, it is clear that the Office

of Industry Engagement is well positioned for this new phase in pursuing the

transfer and commercialization of Georgia Tech’s IP.

Looking ahead, we will leverage what we have achieved through our Contract

Continuum, Enterprise Agreements, marketing efforts, and more to continue to keep

Georgia Tech at the forefront of cutting-edge research.

Engaging Researchers Early with Industry As government funding agencies continue to require an industry partner be identified at the start of a project, we will engage with Georgia Tech researchers early and often in the research cycle to identify corporate collaborators. This will also enable us to more effectively market opportunities for research and IP licensing to potential partners.

Establishing Fundamentals for Foundations We recognize that foundations are a critical component in the funding of research at Georgia Tech. Therefore, Jilda Garton, General Manager, Georgia Tech Research Corporation, is leading a committee hosted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. This committee has begun discussions to consider developing a set of common principles to govern research engagements between universities and foundations. This effort is expected to clarify and assist with the IP ownership challenges associated with university-foundation collaborations. The committee plans to meet in Fall 2018 to address this issue.

Streamlining Research for Spinouts and Small Businesses The Office of Industry Engagement will be taking a collaborative approach to helping faculty with proposals to the Georgia Research Alliance’s commercialization grant program, which is dedicated to spinouts based on research from Georgia universities. This teaming approach by Georgia Tech’s VentureLab, Conflict of Interest Management Office, and Office of Technology Licensing will help ensure that faculty proposals comply with Georgia Tech policies and that funds are tracked consistently and spent appropriately during the project.

To achieve greater efficiencies and better alignment of activities, we have shifted responsibility for processing proposals related to the Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR) program to the Office of Sponsored Programs, which has a team dedicated to federal flow-through programs.

In fiscal year 2019, an online system for requesting MTAs will be launched by the Exchange Agreements group. This team had great success with the launch of a new online system for NDA requests (see page 9), and they will leverage the skills and experience gained from implementation of the NDA system to expedite, simplify, and facilitate the execution of MTAs.
