Starting Sept. 21, LICENSE: The Center for Tech Commercialization team will host a Tech Transfer Boot Camp in five, one-hour weekly workshops covering key topics such as idea protection, invention disclosure, patenting, marketing, and licensing. Enroll now, space is limited.
Additionally, starting Sept. 20, LAUNCH: The Center for New Ventures team will host LAUNCH Startup Labs, a series of seven workshops about creating new technology startups from research using entrepreneurial tools and methods appropriate for the research community. Enroll now, space is limited.
The two workshops will incorporate the basics of early-stage commercial translation of research, including answers to questions such as, “What is in a patent or license agreement and why, and how to wrestle with the many uncertainties in the creation of a startup,” said Mark Mondry, the associate director for LAUNCH.
