OVERVIEW OF TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER AND INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY PROTECTON OF RESEARCH OUTPUTS
 WHAT IS TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER?
 Technology Transfer is the movement of data, designs, inventions, materials, software, technical
knowledge or trade secrets from one organization to another or from one purpose to another.
The technology transfer process is guided by the policies, procedures and values of each
organization involved in the process.
 It is also the process by which one party systematically transfer to another the knowledge for
the manufacture of a product, the application of the process or the rendering of the service
which may involve the transfer assignment or licensing of intellectual property rights
 Technology transfer (or tech transfer), in the context of research institutions, is the process by
which new inventions and other innovations created in those institutions’ labs are turned into
products and commercialized.
 THE PROCESS OF TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER
1). Research and Discovery  4).Protection of IP
The first step of commercializing a university invention is
discovering it in the research labs. Without this, there would be no
new ideas or technologies to commercialize.
2). Invention and Disclosure 
If professors, staff, or students realize that a project may have
commercial value, they should submit an Invention Disclosure
Form (IDF) to the office on their campus responsible for managing
inventions, usually named the Office of Technology Transfer
(OTT), although some universities have different names for it.
3). Evaluation by OTT
The OTT staff will evaluate the invention based on information
submitted by the researchers.
If the organization decides to invest in the IP and it has been
through initial evaluation, they will start working with outside
attorneys to file appropriate documents.
5). Commercialization 
After initiating protection of the IP, the OTT staff will create a
marketing plan for commercializing the technology.
6).Revenue Management 
If the external corporate collaborator generates revenue by
commercializing the technology developed at the university, a
predetermined percentage of that income should be shared with
that university.
 EXAMPLES OF TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER
 Examples of technology transfer can be found across virtually every scientific
and industrial area, from pharmaceuticals and medical devices to alternative
energy solutions, computing, transport, artificial intelligence, robotics,
agriculture, aerospace, environmental improvements and many more.
 Many of the products and technological advances we take for granted in our
everyday lives came from university or institute research before being
transferred to the marketplace through technology transfer procedures.
 BENEFITS OF TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER
Technology transfer has benefits for universities, companies, regional and national economies, and
society at large.
 For universities technology transfer may help improve research and the prestige of the
institution, its scientists and their innovations. This helps with faculty recruitment and grant funding.
It may also provide revenue to support existing or new research activities.
 For companies, benefits include gaining access to technological advances created in leading
research institutes, thus leveraging the investments and expertise performed by world-leading
scientists and engineers.
 For society at large, the benefits are incalculable in terms of lives saved, improved health, a
cleaner environment, and countless technological advances that bring not only new capabilities but
that drive local, regional, national, and global economies forward through innovation. 
 TYPES OF TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER
Technology transfer can be categorized into three basic types:
 Technology push. This takes place when a company or university patents its invention and
licenses it to other companies. This process is common with university-related inventions
because universities are not in charge of manufacturing the inventions themselves, but they
want to get their inventions out into the market.
 Market pull. This is when new technologies are developed in response to demand for a product
or service. This is the most common way of technology transfer as it pulls up innovation in
order to meet the demands of the market.
 Technological spillover. This takes place when new advances in one area stimulate progress in
another. It’s called a “spillover” because it’s like ideas spilling from one subject to another, or
technology being transferred between countries.
 PROFESSIONAL, INDUSTRY, AND TRADE ASSOCIATIONS
 ACCT Canada
“ACCT Canada is a nationwide organization operating at the intersection of academic, research and industry. We connect Canada’s innovation
ecosystem.”
 American Bar Association — Intellectual Property Law
“The largest IP organization in the world.”
 American Intellectual Property Law Association (AIPLA)
“A 17,000 member, national bar association constituted primarily of intellectual property lawyers in private & corporate practice, in government
service, and in the academic community.”
 Angel Capital Association
“The Angel Capital Association is a peer organization of angel investing groups in North America. The professional association focuses on
networking and sharing of best practices among these angel groups.”
 Association of American Universities (AAU)
“A higher education association web site focusing on the federal funding of university research and education and on university-related policy
issues.”


Association of European Science and Technology Transfer Professionals (ASTP)

“The mission of ASTP is to professionalize and promote technology and knowledge transfer between the European science base and industry.”
 CONCLUSION
Technology transfer combines research with real world products that can provide benefits for
society and solutions to problems. At the same time, it generates income that can be used to fund
further research and development. It is beneficial for small to medium enterprises, who can
leverage outside expertise, and research.
 WHAT IS INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTION OF
RESEARCH OUTPUTS?

 Intellectual property is an asset that is a creation of the mind. It includes

inventions, works of literary and artistic nature, designs, symbols, names, and
images used in trade. They are valuable and are offered the law’s protection.
 It is an intangible asset of businesses that cannot be easily identified by physical
parameters but by its unique characteristics. They include patents, copyrights,
trademarks, industrial design, geographical indications of goods, and trade secrets.
 Developing innovations and creations take time, money, effort, and intellect.
Therefore, creators need the opportunity to receive a reasonable return on their
investment to be motivated to accomplish it.
 Intellectual property (IP) protection is important for researchers as it helps them safeguard their
research output and ensure that they are able to reap the benefits of their work. Here are some ways
researchers can protect their IP:
1. Patents: Researchers can protect their inventions and innovations by applying for a patent. A patent
provides exclusive rights to the inventor for a limited period, preventing others from making, using, or selling
the invention without the inventor's permission.
2. Copyright: Copyright law protects original works of authorship, such as articles, books, and software.
Researchers can protect their research output by copyrighting it, which gives them exclusive rights to
reproduce, distribute, and display their work.
3. Trade secrets: Researchers can protect their research output as trade secrets by keeping their work
confidential and limiting access to it. This prevents others from using their ideas or research without
permission.
4. Trademarks: Researchers can protect their brand and research output by registering a trademark. A
trademark is a word, phrase, symbol, or design that identifies and distinguishes the source of the goods or
services of one party from those of others.
 THE PURPOSES OF IP PROTECTION FOR RESEARCH
OUTPUT
 Encouraging innovation: IP protection can provide an incentive for researchers
and inventors to create new and useful inventions or works.
 Promoting investment: IP protection can attract investment from venture
capitalists, investors, or companies that are interested in licensing or acquiring the
rights to a particular research project.
 Protecting intellectual property: IP protection can prevent others from using or
exploiting a researcher's or inventor's work without permission or compensation.
 Fostering competition: IP protection can encourage competition by allowing
researchers and inventors to profit from their work and invest in further research
and development.
PLANNING TECNHICAL SEMINARS
 WHAT IS A TECHNICAL SEMINAR?
A seminar or a technical seminar is a learning occasion where a
number of individuals come together to discuss a certain subject or
topic in greater detail. Presentations, discussions, and interactive
exercises are frequently included in seminars to further the education
of the audience.
 STEPS IN PLANNING AND ORGANIZING TECHNICAL
SEMINARS
  
1. DEFINE THE OBJECTIVES
Any event should be designed according to:

 its objective,
 its target audience.

Therefore, it is crucial to define these two concepts clearly throughout the planning process
because they have an impact on all decisions.
For instance, depending on whether the seminar is for partners, coworkers, or clients, the event's
essence would be drastically different.
2. CHOOSE A THEME OR A FORMAT
 The objectives and target audience will be used to define the theme and format. Find a compelling title for
the project that will inspire the participants as the first step.

 In addition, it's important to think about whether planning a weekend, a day, or a meal is more appropriate,
always keeping the purpose in mind.

3. DEFINE A BUDGET
 The prior criteria (goal, target, and format) should be used to set the budget rather than only internal limits.

 For instance, it is preferable to bargain with the hotel for benefits concerning room comfort rather than a
price cut.
4. CHOOSE A DATE
 The number of visitors who can come will be maximized by making a wise choice for the day. 
 Avoid picking dates that can interfere with participants' availability and the success of the event:
 long weekends,
 school vacations,
 important national sporting events.

5. CHOOSE A VENUE
 The site should be picked based on its capacity for hosting, accessibility, and the existence of a preferred contact on-
site...
  
 Glossy brochures are insufficient; a site visit is required to avoid unpleasant surprises and to better visualize the event
and plan it to fit the location.
  
 Once a location has been selected, a cost estimate must be requested, and it is recommended to place an option to
secure the booking.
6. DEVELOP THE REVERSE PLANNING AHEAD OF TIME
 Reverse planning makes it possible to follow each phase of the event planning process day by day to make sure
everything happens according to plan.

 This preparation ought to:

 Integrate all due dates: reservations to be made, contacts to involve, deposits to pay,
 Plan for a certain amount of leeway so that the event is not compromised in case of delay or an unforeseen
schedule issue.

7. PARTICIPANTS PLAN THE EVENT FOR THE

 The day should be well planned out and adhere to a detailed schedule that will be shared with all attendees.

 It will consist of:

 conference hours and activities,
 break times throughout the day,
 a certain amount of leeway to “absorb” unexpected events, such as a conference slightly running over time.
8. COMMUNICATE AHEAD OF THE EVENT
 Whether the attendees are internal coworkers or visitors from outside the organization, a communication plan needs to be set
up.
  Its goal is to ensure guests are present by giving them adequate notice. As a result, invitations must be sent to them, and
answers must be gathered to determine the actual number of participants.
 To prevent guests from feeling uncomfortable, it should be clearly indicated whether particular activities call for a specific type
of clothes (for example, a sports outfit for athletic games, suitable walking shoes for orienteering, etc.).

9. REHEARSE AND SYNCRHONIZE

 It is essential to stop by the location the night before the event to:
 Ensure that everything is in place,
 Possibly do rehearsals, notably if an artistic performance is planned,
 Recontact the various contacts who will direct the day to help it go smoothly.

10. COMMUNICATE AFTER THE EVENT

 Once the event has finished, everything isn’t over!
 Send out a satisfaction survey the following day to get feedback from the attendees of the event.
 Send the attendees a thank-you card, a summary of the day, and, if possible, pictures from the seminar a week after the event.
INDUSTRIAL VISITATIONS AND TECHNICAL EXHIBITS
 INDUSTRIAL VISITATIONS
 Being a part of interactive learning, such educational visits give
students a major exposure to real working environments along with
a practical perspective of a theoretical concept relevant to their
domain.
 Industrial visits bridge the widening gap between theoretical
learning and practical exposure by giving students the first-hand
exposure to identify the inputs and outputs for different business
operations and processes performed at the workplace.
 PURPOSE AND EXPECTED OUTCOMES
 OPPORTUNITY TO INTERACT WITH INDUSTRY EXPERT
provide students with a chance to meet industry leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, policymakers,
and corporates who share their wisdom, learning, and experiences.
 LEARNING EXPERIENCE
provide an opportunity for students to see and experience real workstations, plants, machines, systems,
assembly lines, and interact with highly trained and experienced personnel.
 ENHANNCED EMPLOYABILITY AND PREFFERED PROVIDER
ORGANIZATION (PPO’s)
For students, it opens many doors for corporate training and internships, which in turn increase
their employability. 
 MANAGEMENT LESSONS
the students get an opportunity to experience how professionals live, learn about various management
concepts like Just in Time or Lean manufacturing and how they are put into action. 
 INTERPERSONAL SKILLS ENHANCEMENT
help students to enhance their interpersonal, communication skills, and teamwork abilities. These
educational/ industrial trips also help the students identify their learning towards a branch and decide their
future work areas like marketing, finance, operations, IT, HR, etc.
 DAY OFF FROM THE USUAL MELACHOLY
provide the students much-needed break from the usual melancholic theory classes, and students get a
chance to engage in fun learning. The students get an opportunity to learn something outside the four
walls of their college. 
 
 Industrial visits are usually the first point of interaction between a student and a live working
industry. The students learn about the latest technology trend and make up their minds about their
future job or area of interest.
