Technology commercialization is the process of transforming an idea or scientific discovery that solves a problem into new or improved product, process or service
Why Worry About Technology Management? • Research is becoming more results-oriented. • The disappearing ‘gap” between basic research and commercial application. • Institutional stewardship of intellectual property • Faculty expectations. • Research centers have a role in regional competition in the “knowledge economy.”
Varied Roles IDEA Universities Research Institutes Start-up Firms R & D Firms Research Development Production Larger Companies Manufacturing Distribution MARKET

Protection of Intellectual Property • General Definition The Process by which the private value of the creative outputs of research are protected. • Items to cover • The protection approach • Disclosing and protecting inventions • The nature of intellectual property
Non-disclosure Agreements • Usually an interim method for providing protection, until more permanent protection is obtained. Avoids loss of novelty (exception—trade secrets). • Involves signing a formal document which clearly identifies the intellectual property. • Enables business and commercialization evaluations prior to open publication. • Often has some time limit.
Criteria for Patentability NEW no “prior art” - a novel invention has not been publicly disclosed has not been made or sold in commerce NOT OBVIOUS not obvious to a person “skilled in the art no “prior art” which would suggest the invention USEFUL has a purpose
What is Patentable? May include anything “under the sun” made by man... • Process—a method of doing something (e.g., manufacturing steel, surgical or medical procedures) • Machine—combination of mechanical elements • Article of manufacture—anything which has been manufactured • Composition of matter—a new chemical, a new formulation of elements, a genetic construct
