Technology Licensing
IP 3300 / 4 q.h.
June 25 - August 18
Boston Tu 5:45 PM-8:45 PM
Commercialization of technology from academia to industry occurs at the intersection of science, business, and law. Whether in academic technology transfer or in business development, interdisciplinary skills in these areas are necessary for successful technology licensing. Since technology commercialization is a relatively new profession and training is primarily 'on the job,' many professionals lack fundamental skills. This commercialization and licensing practicum will teach practical skills necessary for successful technology transfer in both academic and industrial sectors (focusing on the biopharmaceutical sector). The skills emphasized in this course are practice-oriented valuation of technology and Intellectual Property (IP), market research, and use of financial, legal (contract and licensing law), and scientific information for negotiation of technology licenses. Students will examine ethical considerations encountered in university-to-industry relations such as conflict-of-interest, legal, and IP issues arising among government, academia, and industry. |
