Financial Conflicts of Interest
Price for Members: $150.00
Price for Nonmembers: $190.00
Researchers at universities have unique opportunities to advance technology while establishing relationships with business entities that have an interest in commercializing technology. However, a significant financial conflict of interest may arise from such situations for researchers and their institutions. Congress is paying more attention to these conflict of interest issues and universities can expect more detailed reporting of conflicts of interest to government sponsors and the implementation of enhanced internal financial conflict of interest requirements. In this webinar you’ll learn more about the specific problems that arise from conflicts of interest, such as how conflict of interest disclosure can smooth the formation of startup companies and protect access to crucial research funds.

How to Assess Patent Quality
Price for Members: $150.00
Price for Nonmembers: $190.00
With resources scarce in most technology transfer offices, marketing only those patents which appear to have commercially relevant issued patent claims and knowing which patents might be infringed is important. Indentifying which patents which may not be commercially relevant is equally important, as they can be abandoned or marketed and licensed through mechanisms that require fewer resources, such as IP listing Web sites. This workshop reviews tools, techniques and resources to help technology transfer officers make these important business decisions and manage portfolios effectively and efficiently.

Promoting the Role of the Technology Transfer Office
Price for Members: $150.00
Price for Nonmembers: $190.00
We speak a great deal about marketing technologies and even about marketing our offices to the world beyond the university. A new direction of thought along the lines of "in-reach" is necessary. What is in-reach? In-reach is the effort to reach inside your institution to your inventors, authors, academic leadership, administration and others to educate, inform and involve them in the business of technology transfer. Building and sustaining internal support this way is an investment in any technology transfer office's long-term success. It emphasizes both the contributions the office can make to the academic mission at the university and also "weaves" the technology transfer office into the tapestry of the institution in a beneficial way.
