Program agenda:
- Practical guidance on how to efficiently and effectively draft and execute the necessary agreements with repositories for maximum return
- Brief definition of terms (tool, material, reagent, etc.)
- How to identify research tools in your university research programs
- Proven strategies for engagement and outreach with PIs, repositories
- Types of agreements to expect: non-exclusive licenses, master agreements, templates, quick and one-click licenses, and non-standard agreements
- Establishing and marketing one-click licensing
- What to expect in terms of financial gain, potential partnerships, and improved relations with faculty
TechPipeline has secured a top-notch panel of presenters — from two universities and a leading third-party repository — who have vast experience in building significant revenue streams through licensing of research tools, materials, and reagents.
Join us for this one-hour program and take a deep dive into the drafting, negotiating, execution and relationship management of licensing these often under-appreciated assets whether through your TTO or via a third-party repository.
Find hidden revenue by learning how to identify these materials and tools and making them readily available for licensing via click-thru licenses, larger or bundled licenses, or via a third-party repository.
Engage and reward researchers who otherwise would not be involved in tech transfer. Licensing these assets represents an incredibly effective in-reach activity leading to increases in the number of invention disclosures, licenses executed, products launched in the market, and new partnerships with companies — not to mention the immediate impact on licensing revenue. We’ll delve into two universities’ successes in this area.
Pro tip: A research tool licensing program may also lead to a considerable reduction in the number of MTAs, relieving a TTO of some of its transaction load.
Leverage the power of repositories. By contracting with repositories for the long-term archival and sharing of these materials, research institutions have a unique opportunity to passively earn revenue and decrease the MTA workload.
