– SECOND - BWH• $253 million• 566 awards
* Most current available data from NIH
Technology Transfer Overview
•What is it? •How does it get transferred?•Who owns the technology?•Who gets the money?•What about funding for research?
What is Technology Transfer?
•Transfer of technological innovation from one party to another for purpose of developing and commercializing useful products
– From academia to industry: benefits and challenges for both — and for the investigator/inventor
What Technology is Transferred?
•Intellectual Property
– Inventions (usually patentable) • New, useful, not obvious
• Determined by patent lawyers, patent office, courts
– Copyrightable works - (mainly software)– Trademarks; trade secrets
•Tangible Research Property - (unpatentable biological materials)
•Intangible Research Property – (research results, know-how)
More On Patents
•Legal right to exclude others
•To preserve patentability: disclose to technology transfer office before public disclosure (oral presentations, publication) because foreign patent protection may be jeopardized (US: one-year grace period; ROW: must be first to file).
•Loss of foreign patent rights can greatly impact the financial value of an invention
Who Owns the Technology and Why?
• Intellectual Property, TRP: the hospitalsUnless: unrelated, no hospital resources, or made under approved consulting arrangement (and no hospital resources)
•Why?- Federal law: Bayh-Dole Act of 1980 permitting
universities/hospitals to elect ownership of inventions made under federal funding
- Obligated to have a written policy with its employees requiring disclosure and assignment of inventions and in return must share with the inventor(s) a portion of any revenue received from licensing the invention.
- Institutional policy: Intellectual Property Policy
How is Technology Transferred?
•Informally
•Formally- agreements– Licenses, material transfer agreements,
confidentiality agreements, research agreements– Negotiated by technology transfer offices– Signed by authorized institutional representative-
investigators not authorized

What About Funding For Research?
•Industry sponsored research– Part of license package, or separate– Academic rights (publication, collaboration, no
secrecy of research results) preserved– Intellectual property rights narrowly defined– Commingling with government funds OK
– FY06 PHS Corporate Sponsored Research Expenditures: >$75MM
Technology Transfer as a Career Path
•What is this profession all about?•Where do these professionals work?•What skills do I need?•What do technology transfer professionals do? •What are some resources?•Where do I start?
Where is the Technology Transfer Office?(and what do they do?)
There are technology transfer offices at universities, medical schools, hospitals, government agencies and in industry. Most offices provide technology transfer, research support, licensing and start-up activities.
Not all technology transfer offices are called the same name or do all the same things!
•Intellectual Property Office•Licensing Office•Some are part of a university’s Research Foundation•OTL, TLO, TVO, OTTL, TCO, OTD•Corporate Sponsored Research and Licensing (CSRL)
