Fuentek Publishes White Paper On Commercialization of Federally Funded Research
Paper Provides Successful Technology Transfer Model.
- Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, NC (1888PressRelease) January 31, 2012 - Fuentek, LLC (http://www.fuentek.com/), a technology consulting firm that provides intellectual property (IP) management and technology transfer services, has announced the release of the company's white paper, A Roadmap for Commercializing Federally Funded Research: Guidance for Universities and Government Lab Technology Transfer. Written by Laura Schoppe, president at Fuentek, the paper was prompted by a March 2010 request for information from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and the National Economic Council.
The white paper contains information about a filtering process that allows for proactive technology management proceeding in phases, including multiple examples of the successful implementation of this model. Recommendations are provided for implementing this model in technology transfer offices (TTOs).
The practices, model, and implementation plan outlined in the paper are applicable to all types of organizations, including universities, government labs, and private companies. They also apply to all types of innovations, from computer software and manufacturing systems to biotechnology and pharmaceuticals to advanced materials and electronics, developed under all types of funding programs-federal grants and contracts, agency budgets, university endowments, venture capital, corporate internal R&D, and so forth.
QUOTE:
"We have strong evidence for the success of the Fuentek Filtering Process," said Schoppe. "The goal of this white paper is to help technology transfer offices follow this proactive, phased approach and have an effective and efficient means for filtering through the dozens-or even hundreds-of innovations they receive each year so that they can give priority to those technologies with the greatest potential for commercial, humanitarian, or other impact."
