  1. TechNOLOGICAL TRANSFER ROAD-Map at CEA. the route from basic research to industry.CEA is the Atomic Energy commission in france Didier Normand

  2. outline Whyshouldbasic researchers care for industrial applications? How to do it (efficiently) ? Examples Feedback for a happy wedding

  3. Whyshould basic researchers care for industrial applications? « FromResearch to Industry », CEA mission Createeconomic value and jobs Make money for supportingourresearch INCREASE OUR COMPETENCES. Workingwithindustrialpartners***

  4. Strategy Contrats Patents

  5. File patents !! • PATENTING is ESSENTIAL • Researchers must learnevaluating if a discovery/ diagnostic/software has a potential for patenting • They must refer to a patenting body within the lab / university BEFORE communicating on a result • Patents protect the industrialpartners • Patents bringcredibility to the researchlab

  6. Patentingyes, but …expensive ? LONG ? • Make sure the patent isworthy & validand file it • First « go nogo » after 12 months 0 12 • Search for industrialpartners (contracts or licensing) : 2nd « go nogo » after 30 months 30 months Analysis and patenting = 3-4 weeks Deposit national patent (€) PCT Phase(€) Extension to international(€€€) • PCT = Patent CooperationTreaty (1970) : A unique demandis put towards the Bureau International whichwill check for validitycriteria : the novalty, the inventive step and theindustrialapplicability. • If the patent passes the PCT evaluation, the final decision for launching the patent belongs the national authorities : the more countries are covered, the more expensiveitis.

  7. POSSIBLE STRATEGIES afterpatenting Patents Licensing • Startups • sometimes the unique solution • heavy for the lab Industrialcontracts Patents Intellectual Protection (IP) Credibilitytowardsindustrialparterns • PartnershipResearchcofinanced by a third body • (national funds, EU, …) • It reduces the costs for the industrialpartners negociationiseasier • It brings ressources to the researchlab (salaries are charged to the contract) • It makes sure the productswillbeadapted to the market • Best tool : creation of a joint lab

  8. PATENTING isNOT ENOUGH

  9. THE route fromresearch to industry Partnershipresearch Pre-studies (few k€) Industrial contrats Patent Licensing Industry First meetings, NDA Joint Lab Search for industrialpartners Shorter route : Patents + leader  START-UP proof of concept (Academicfunds) patents Basic Research

  11. 20 years of R&D withindustry Date of the firstcontractwith laser & opticsindustry Wizzler Séquoia 1993 1995 2005 2015 • 20 contractswithindustrials (ASTRE, ARITT, RTRA, PALM, ANR, OSEO, FP7, H2020 …), • Budget  2 M€ + provision of equipment 1M€.

  12. EXAMPLES OF Industrialdemands • Studyperformed by CEA for an industrialpartner : • Ex: Frequencydoublingwith high average power : CRISTAL LASER • Validation of an industrialdevice : • Ex:Deformablemirrorwith Imagine Optics. • Co-developmentbetween CEA and Industry (Joint Lab): • Ex: Laser phase stabilisation (CEP) : Amplitude Technology • Patent licensing of a CEA device or technique : Ex: Sequoia (laser contrastmeasurement) : Amplitude Technology.

  13. Conclusion: for a happy wedding … • 3. Need for an adequateorganization • Large research groups adequate for managing science and R&D • Promotion of careers • Adequatejuridical body for patenting • 1. Basic Research must remain the key task • Refuse economical plans not in line with the labstrategy • Researchers must be free to say « NO » • Keepourcore business but adapt the way of implementingit • 2. Building confidence is the first priority • Be aware of the patentingopportunities • Start small and be patient • Trykeeping in touchwith the sameindustrial contacts

  14. Thankyou for your attention : stay the RACE !
