SEBA Spotlight Series: Bench to Market, a discussion on Tech Transfer

joe — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 17:03:22 +0000

The February Spotlight Speaker event is going to be a panel session
on the topic of Technology Transfer, tailored specifically for the members of the UW community. Have you ever wondered how laboratory technologies and techniques become commercial products and practices? Is there a technology that you want to license and/or commercialize, or is this a future possibility? Are you interested in how start-up companies are formed? Are you aware of your legal rights and responsibilities throughout this process?

Answers to all of these questions, as well as many others, will be addressed by a panel of three individuals who are involved in different apects of the technology transfer process:

Patrick Shelby, the Technology Manager of Engineering in the UW TechTransfer office, will provide an overview of the steps of the technology transfer process.
Jim Roberts, the Business Development Officer of the UW TechTransfer office and head of the newly-developed LaunchPad initiative, will talk about how the TechTransfer office can help UW innovators with their start-up companies.
Karl Hermanns, the managing partner of the Seattle IP law firm Seed IP, an adjunct professor in the UW school of law, and an advisory board member to the Bioengineering Department’s program in technology commercialization, will talk about the legal dimension of technology transfer.

After each speaker introduces his involvement with technology transfer and relates his own experiences with the process, the panel will be open to questions from the audience.

When: February 20, 2008 from 5-7pm
Where: 248 Schmitz
