  1. Technlogy Transfer Pilot Project - An Initiative within the European Patent NetworkIPRTA FORUM MEXICO Dr. Georg Artelsmair Department Head European Affairs/Member States 09 July 2008

  2. Overview • TTO project motivation • TTO project concept Manuel Desantes Overview

  3. European R&D - Facts and Figures Source: Eurostat *DK 2001 - IT 1996 Manuel Desantes

  4. European R&D - Facts and Figures Manuel Desantes

  5. Sources of business information Sources of information identified by enterprises as highly important for the enterprise’s innovation activities, as a percentage of innovative enterprises, EU-27 average Manuel Desantes

  6. Percentage of US Patents Granted to Research Universities The US initiative The Bayh-Dole Act in the United States: US research university patenting before & after passage of Bayh-Dole Act in 1981 Manuel Desantes

  7. 2001 2002 2003 The Japanese example Effects of Japanese Bayh-Dole Act passed in 1999 Manuel Desantes

  8. Cooperation programme on Technology Transfer • A component of the new cooperation policy within the EPN • Best practice example from Portugal • Adopted by the Administrative Council in June 2007 Link to EU policy: The European Comission's recommendation on the management of intellectual property in knowledge transfer activities Manuel Desantes

  9. Pilot Project on Technology Transfer Underlying concept: making the expertise of National Patent Offices available for fostering the technology transfer from university to industry Manuel Desantes

  10. Pilot Project on Technology Transfer:Services offered • Assist in identifying research results which have commercial value • Inform on IPR possibilities/routes • Support inventors in the disclosure process (file before publishing) • Search services (avoid infringement etc) • Evaluate commercial potential of disclosed innovations • Support in identifying patent attorneys • Advice in selecting potential industrial partners/ competitors watch • Support application for new research funds • Provide a user-friendly publication channel via a standard non-patent-literature (NPL) template Manuel Desantes

  11. Pilot Project on Technology Transfer A Technology Transfer Office (TTO) established in each of the participating Universities will strive to: • raise awareness about the patent system in public research institutions • promote the institution of IP curricula • encourage the exploitation of IPRs in the transfer of technology from universities to industry • develop IP management capacity in publicly funded research organisations • promotion of commercialisation of research results • use academic research results as information source for enterprises The pilot project will last 5 years Manuel Desantes

  12. Pilot Project on Technology Transfer: Participating Universities • Poland: Technical University of Lodz • Hungary: Budapest University of Technology and Economics • Italy: University of Turin • Slovenia: University of Ljubljana • Turkey: Gazi University • Portugal: Lisbon University • Czech Republic: Czech Technical University in Prague • Romania: Polytechnic University Bucharest Manuel Desantes

  13. Pilot Project on Technology Transfer: Implementation status Completed: • Training carried out (16 participants from 8 countries both from NPOs and universities) Ongoing: • 3 Working Plans in advanced preparation (PL, RO, CZ) Challenges: • NOs taking over a new role as knowledge transfer service provider • Lack of resources in NPOs Manuel Desantes 3.  Two new pilot projects

  14. Thank you Manuel Desantes
