Abstract:
This talk discusses the best practice policies and procedures that have been developed at Emory University designed to maximize output and service associate with the technology transfer and commercialization functions house at the Office of Technology Transfer. We will review the structure of the OTT, statistics of the university's research and how that relates to patenting volume and strategy, Emory's Product Pipeline, overall licensing activity, royalties received by Emory from OTT activities, and how that those have been distributed to the university and inventors. We will then go into a snapshot of Emory's startup activities - specifically how Emory OTT gets involved with startup companies, what activities OTT undertakes to make more technologies better prepared for commercialization, and general startup culture in Atlanta, Georgia.
