Industry vs TTO patenting: divergent priorities

(Annual Conference Bergen 2008)

Do universities view IP in same way as major corporates? We don’t think so. Universities focus on the patent whereas companies focus on the product; patents being just one of the ’assets’ needed to make the product and defend against imitators. Is there something important to be learned from these radically different perspectives?

Medical technologies

(Fall Seminar Venice 2007)

What are the issues that are really important for industry, and how do these issues influence their interaction with research institutions? How do they identify and acquire technology? What are their main business drivers and which elements determine their long and short term strategy? What do they expect from us? Decision makers from within five different sectors guide us through.

Telecommunications

(Fall Seminar Venice 2007)

The Telecom industry has undergone huge changes in the last few years. National monopolies are no more, physical networks have become commodities and the business model is being challenged by VOIP. In this new age what do the major telecoms companies need from the research base?

Healthcare / Consumer products

(Fall Seminar Venice 2007)

The Healthcare sector is facing major challenges - development and regulatory costs are rising at a time when product pipelines are diminishing. They are seeking new technologies to achieve greater speed and efficiency and early screening – and alliances to fill pipelines. Universities are as important as ever but the way in which we engage will change.

Information technology

(Fall Seminar Venice 2007)

The ICT ’industry’ moves very fast and is structured in such a way that makes it difficult to ‘digest’ university technologies. Moreover, IP is harder to protect since single patents offer little protection. Added to that, ‘killer applications’ are far from obvious. How then are we supposed to engage with the major ICT users?

Food and functional food industry

(Fall Seminar Venice 2007)

For a long time food had to be tasty, safe and reasonably priced. These days a major shift is ongoing towards functional food. How do evolutions towards convenience, shelf life and pre-biotics influence our interaction with industry? Is a new collaboration model required for the food of the future ?

Understanding Key Industries : Food and Medical devices

( Fall Conference Athens 2005)

It is important to understand an industry before you can sell into it. In this session we hear from two very different industries – food and defence – and learn how they innovate and where the opportunities are for universities to collaborate and license their technologies.
