And though a few lucky ones have veteran leaders who\u2019ve been through the process before, that\u2019s the exception rather than the rule when it comes to university spinouts. It stands to reason, then, that start-up managers are in dire need of best practices, and that\u2019s exactly what Georgia Tech\u2019s Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC) is delivering. The center has posted a series of best practice documents on its website in an attempt to reach out to more of the region\u2019s start-ups than it can work with directly.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div><strong>New push for global access licensing attracts broad support, adds complications. <\/strong>In the latest milestone in a movement that has been gaining steam for at least the last decade, the Association for University Technology Managers (AUTM) and six prominent universities have endorsed a \u201cStatement of Principles and Strategies for the Equitable Dissemination of Medical Technologies.\u201d The statement is a general outline of seven practices designed to ensure that university licensing facilitates, rather than impedes, the delivery of life-saving medicines to the developing world.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div><strong>U of Delaware creates IP gateway to boost commercialization.<\/strong> In less than three years, technology transfer at the University of Delaware (UD) in Newark has evolved from an acknowledged bare-bones licensing effort into broad-scale commercialization activity.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div><strong>Use patent analytics to ID licensees and get deals done. <\/strong>Finding licensees for your IP is a challenge in any environment, but in a recession it can seem more like waiting for lightning to strike &#8212; and about as likely. The key to sniffing out deals in a down economy, according to one IP consultant, is taking a proactive approach and increasing your odds by employing patent analytics.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div><strong>TAEUS introducing new ways to attract licensees. <\/strong>TAEUS International Corp., based in Colorado Springs, CO, is on the cusp of launching several software products in early 2010 that could help university TTOs implement standardized systems to describe patented technologies for the IP marketplace and then put those technologies in front of potential licensees, says Matt Troyer, vice president of innovation at the full-service IP firm<strong>.<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div><strong>Patenting partnership makes TTO\u2019s law firm part of the team. <\/strong>As a relatively small technology transfer office, the Office of Economic Innovation and Partnerships (OEIP) at the University of Delaware (UD) in Newark \u201cdoesn\u2019t have the luxury of being able to personally guide every single invention or patent application that comes into our office,\u201d says Bruce Morrissey, director of technology development at OEIP\u2019s IP Center. \u201cSo we developed a team approach with our law firm to get some leverage on that process.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div><strong>Manage expectations of state lawmakers to secure long-term support for tech transfer. <\/strong>Politics and tech transfer make strange bedfellows, but with jobs and revenues evaporating in many states, it\u2019s increasingly difficult for TTOs to avoid turf wars in the halls of their own statehouses. And some of the battles are getting ugly.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following is a list of the articles that appear in the December 2009 issue of Technology Transfer Tactics monthly newsletter.
