- Best Practices for Performing Provisional Patent Conversion Evaluations: This how-to webinar will focus on what factors TTOs should consider in making their patent conversion decisions, and how to arrive at a solid determination among competing priorities and issues – budget, faculty pressure, competition, IP and development risks, licensee interest, and more.
- IP Audit Checklist: Best Practices to Identify, Protect, Monetize and Enforce University IP Assets: This practical session will take you step-by-step through the process and procedures of a general audit, event-driven audit, and limited-purpose IP audit. Includes a free audit checklist template!
- Tech Launch Arizona’s Asset Development Program: A Case Study Webinar: Doug Hockstad, TLA’s Assistant Vice President of Technology Transfer, presents this case-study style webinar designed to provide a roadmap for creating an effective asset development program at your university.
- The “Need to Knowledge” Stage Gate Model for Objective Assessment and Efficient Advancement of University Innovations: Learn how to identify unmet needs that lead to a technology’s stepwise progression in research discovery, prototype development, and product innovation. Encompassing all activities from inception through post-launch evaluation, the model paints a complete picture of the research, development, and production processes. It also offers step-by-step decision points and guidance regarding what actions should be considered throughout the life cycle of a project. This proven model will give you actionable takeaways you can put it into practice to help advance your most promising innovations while objectively allocating your limited resources.
- Using Customer Discovery Techniques to Validate Your University IP’s Commercial Viability: Identifying if an invention has a market — and if it does, how to best engage with those customers — doesn’t have to break the bank. The customer discovery process is proven to provide a solid “go” or “no go” decision while cutting down the product pipeline “transit time” by up to two-thirds, so you can vet more technologies and focus more resources on the winners. You’ll get detailed guidance on implementing the process within your university.
- Successful Transition of University IP From Discovery to Market: Case Study of the Johns Hopkins D2M Project: Since the D2M program’s inception, JHTT has seen significant decreases in patent filing costs and an increase in potential for translational funding — plus they’ve identified solid licensees based on student-run analyses. You’ll learn from their successes and get details on the inner workings of the program in this case-study style program.
