  1. Danish Techtrans and Innovative ExperimentsDr. Gert Balling, Special Advisor, Secretary General of the National Network for Technology Transfer, Denmark. Proton Europe Jan. 2008

  2. University ownership and inventor compensation • Danish Bayh-Dole Act (L347) of June 1999 focuses on the increasing co-operation between research institutions and businesses to make new knowledge and competence available to Danish society. • 5 patent consortia • Techtrans offices • Informal collaboration Proton Europe Jan. 2008

  3. The National Network for Technology Transfer • The National Network for Technology Transfer is an alliance between 14 public research institutions (all patent active research institutions in Denmark). Established 2005. • The Danish Agency for Science, Technology and Innovation is co-funding the Network together with the member institutions • Based on patenting and commercialization of research results from public research institutions. Our focus is to • Set up competence developing events (1 a week. 2007: 59) • Manage website www.techtrans.dk, patent exchange www.patentbors.dk • Create visibility towards industry (branding/PR, think tanks, joint events, book series etc.) • Expanding our international contacts • Contribute to the commercialization survey Represented at the board of ASTP and ProTon Europe (two of the three large European Technology Transfer organisations).

  5. Public Research Commercialization Survey, Denmark. - agreements licensing or assigning IPR - Spin outs Proton Europe Jan. 2008

  6. Comparative analysis of commercialization of public research results (based on latest available statistics) Proton Europe Jan. 2008

  7. 2 initiatives • Patent Exchange • Nordic Tech Trans Network Proton Europe Jan. 2008

  8. Virtual Patent Exchange Proton Europe Jan. 2008

  9. The Danish Patent Exchange 2006 - Background and objectives • Denmark consists of many smaller and middle-sized public research institutions organized under the National Network of Technology Transfer. • Wish to increase the effectiveness of the TT sales process • Wish to aid industry in finding the technologies it needs • The service was to be linked to the internet platform of www.techtrans.dk (one-stop-shop-Denmark) and base the patent exchange on an internet-based infrastructure Proton Europe Jan. 2008

  10. The Danish Patent Exchange 2006 - Platform Issues • Important to present inventions in a way non-specialists can understand • Easy-to-use tool - based on customer needs and using categories from the earlier patent consortia that users were familiar with • Produce test site and test-subsites • Big usability test with different segments of the primary user groups to be sure that the final result matched the expectations of the actual user • The platform was to secure an easy quality control on update and searchability Proton Europe Jan. 2008

  17. The Danish Patent Exchange 2006 - Attention • 3 examples on how to get attention to the patent exchange: • Presence of the Secretariat at important conferences and market places giving business cards away and promoting the system with a live audience • Automatic generation of data base information to other platforms like Flintbox • Cooperation with big matchmakers like RTI, Competitive Technologies, IRC etc. based on the patent exchange Proton Europe Jan. 2008

  18. Nordic Technology Transfer Network is based on Knowledge Pool System developed by Manchester University, UK. Supported by Nordic Technology Transfer Network Proton Europe Jan. 2008 NTTN UMIP

  19. Nordic TT Network- Main objectives – Specific objectives • To increase the effectiveness of the TT process • To aid industry in finding the technologies it requires • To build value adding links and relationships that don’t exist at present • To generate opportunities for joint ventures and commercial collaboration • To bring the TT communities closer together by forming a Nordic regional TT forum • To base the Nordic Regional TT Network on an e-based infrastructure • To cross-fertilize the regional innovation environment Proton Europe Jan. 2008 NTTN UMIP

  20. The Knowledge Pool is for:- Anyone commercialising technology - Anyone seeking technology- Anyone in between 4 rules: 1) Only one sentence allowed 2) Must be a question Does anyone know….? Does anyone have….? Has anyone got….? 3) Replies to the questioning person only 4) No offers allowed Proton Europe Jan. 2008 NTTN UMIP

  21. What kinds of question to ask: Technology seeking Has anyone got any technology that can …..?” Company contacts “Does anyone have a good contact at…?” Experience “Can anyone recommend a….? “Has anyone heard of…..” Market Knowledge “Does anyone have any knowledge or market information of..…?” Investor seeking “Does anyone know of any investors who have investment interests in…..?” Proton Europe Jan. 2008 NTTN UMIP

  22. Questions asked Does anyone have a technology available for license for an environmentally friendly windscreen de-icer effective at -30 C that is not methanol, ethanol or isopropyl based? Does anyone know a CEO candidate for a London based, Australian University - UK Investor, Start-up Company in the image search technology sector? Does any one know the technology provider for environment friendly refractory aggregate binding technologies used for moulds and cores in the production of metal castings?
