  3. Technology Transfer Is… Peace and Prosperity Through Science and Collaboration www.crdf.org 3

  4. Technology Transfer is… Relationships Contact Sports Peace and Prosperity Through Science and Collaboration www.crdf.org 4

  5. Technology Transfer Is… SUNY Innovations Unmet Needs Intellectual Property Market Development Commercial Development Licenses “Deals” Spin-outs Start-ups Peace and Prosperity Through Science and Collaboration www.crdf.org 5

  6. Funding Gap Peace and Prosperity Through Science and Collaboration www.crdf.org 6

  7. University Relations from Industry Side • Annual R&D expenditure as % of sales income • The research-based pharmaceutical industry 19 • Chemicals in general 5 • Electronics 6-7 and • Automobile manufacture 4-5 Peace and Prosperity Through Science and Collaboration www.crdf.org 7

  8. RF, Central Office Highlights from 2005 Annual Report • Chartered in 1951 • Sponsored Research • 8,300 programs • $735 million in FY ending 2005 • 60% government – 40% private • Technology Transfer • Five Offices – 31/64 campuses • 245 new invention disclosures • 193 patent applications filed • 78 license and option agreements executed • 34 U.S. patents issued in fiscal 2005 Peace and Prosperity Through Science and Collaboration www.crdf.org 8

  9. Example of Hoffman-La Roche • In 1996/97 spent $1.7 billion on research and development • Development 70%, ie mostly clinical testing of new therapeutic compounds. • Research-Discovery 30% • Outside of the company 5-10% of the discovery expenditure, • This proportion is growing sharply to about 25%. Peace and Prosperity Through Science and Collaboration www.crdf.org 9

  10. In Addition They Support • Large number of PhD students • Postdoctoral fellowships and • Collaboration with universities on specific research where the university has particular expertise. • Global activity and not confined to Europe. Peace and Prosperity Through Science and Collaboration www.crdf.org 10

  11. In a Smaller Scale • Armored Dynamics • SUNY Geneseo • Software need • CACT-SUNY • Surface science • NYSTAR • Product-Body armor to save lives Peace and Prosperity Through Science and Collaboration www.crdf.org 11

  12. Commercial Development • We “kiss a lot of frogs” Plus Peace and Prosperity Through Science and Collaboration www.crdf.org 12

  13. Commercial Development • Sometimes they are still frogs Plus Peace and Prosperity Through Science and Collaboration www.crdf.org 13

  14. Commercial Development • Sometimes they turn into a prince Plus Peace and Prosperity Through Science and Collaboration www.crdf.org 14

  15. Ideal Collaboration • Direct Response to Industry's needs • R&D Agreement • IP Clause • Technology Development • In University by Faculty • In company by Company Scientists • Either Place by Collaboration • Joint Ownership • First Right to Negotiate Peace and Prosperity Through Science and Collaboration www.crdf.org 15

  16. Big Company’s Need • The research currently being done was not as productive as it would need to be in the future to maintain current business success. • The target is for each top 10 pharmaceutical company to produce 3-5 new successful chemical entities each year (currently companies typically are achieving about 1): • This would require about 35-50 new projects to be initiated each year. Peace and Prosperity Through Science and Collaboration www.crdf.org 16

  17. Big Picture • Such a growth in activity will require a sharp increase in skilled people, or • in the productivity of those currently employed, or the out-sourcing of projects, and particularly a lot of new ideas. • Ideas were an essential element in achieving success, they alone were not always sufficient; • successful innovations did not always rapidly follow from dramatic discoveries; eg monoclonal antibodies. Peace and Prosperity Through Science and Collaboration www.crdf.org 17

  18. Final Picture • To achieve all of this activity, • Industry and universities must understand each other better and work more closely and productively together. Peace and Prosperity Through Science and Collaboration www.crdf.org 18

  19. Create Collaboration • Out of the Box • IP2IPO • Kairos • Raising capital • Flotation in London Market in 2007 • Relation with other universities • Imperial College • Sheffield University Peace and Prosperity Through Science and Collaboration www.crdf.org 19

  20. Summary • Analyze • Be creative • Be flexible Peace and Prosperity Through Science and Collaboration www.crdf.org 20
