OSPA Teleconference: “Technology Transfer Issues for the Research Administrator”– August 2
The Office of Sponsored Projects Administration is sponsoring a teleconference presented by the National Council of University Research Administrators titled “Technology Transfer Issues for the Research Administrator” Thursday, August 2, in Room 102 Mining and Minerals Building from 8:30 am to noon. Please email Sean Scott at sescot0@email.uky.edu to register. You must register to receive the presentation materials.

Presentation Description: Universities are involved in technology transfer activities related to the intellectual property generated by their faculty, staff and students. Research administrators need to understand the basics of these activities in order to obtain agreements that are in compliance with federal law and promote research activities.
This program will start with the policies and regulations which created most modern practices, such as the Bayh-Dole Act, the Tax Reform Act of 1986, and federal government rights and regulations. It will also provide an understanding of intellectual property, starting with patents, copyrights, and trademarks. It will continue with the transfer mechanisms used to get the IP into the hands of the industrial collaborators with definitions of the different agreements, namely licenses and options as well as the impact of the recent America Invents Act. It will cover the terms used in those agreements like exclusivity, fields of use, timeframes, royalties, equity, and patent cost recoveries. Examples will be shared and analyzed.

Learning Objectives:

• Obtain a fundamental understanding of intellectual property
• Understand industry collaborations and what they mean to the university
• Understand the basics and beyond of agreement terms and conditions
