  7. How do the iFarm Teams work? • Meet your Team • Assign roles – Designate a Liaison • Pick a technology – Interact with OTL Licensing Associates and Stanford Inventors • Determine your iFarm Team plan (Expected Outcomes) • Is the technology a licensing play? • Is there an unidentified killer app? • Do you want to build a prototype? • Do you want to develop business models for a possible startup? • Something else? • Present your work

  9. Rules • The iFarm Team program is completely voluntary; there is no compensation for participation; Team members must identify themselves as iFarm Team Program volunteers when introducing themselves to Stanford inventors. • The Stanford inventions remain the property of the University. • Improvements to existing inventions would be governed by the University’s IP policy (Note: Focus of program is not inventing). • The iFarm Team members are expected to commit to participating for 5 months. • If the iFarm Teams do not intend to create a startup around their iFarm Team invention, Stanford may use the iFarm Team work product to continue to try to license the technology.

  10. “Small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises.” Demosthenes
