Main Volume Information

Intellectual Property Technology Transfer, with 2012 Cumulative Supplement, provides the legal framework for the licensing and research transactions between industry and federally and privately funded research laboratories over technology development and transfer and associated intellectual property (IP) rights. Mapping out the legal landscape in the burgeoning field of technology transfer, this resource provides a comprehensive analysis of all of the central legal issues confronting and governing the interactions between industry interests and laboratories conducting basic research.

The treatise provides analysis and insights on national security and export controls on technologies; elimination of the research exemption from IP infringement for universities, and the impact on industry-sponsored university research; recent developments in the federal government's march-in rights and the extent of federal authority over technologies resulting from federally funded research; review of new entrepreneurial models for transferring technology into the marketplace; analysis of laws governing the ownership of intellectual property developed at universities; and international technology transfer.

The 2012 Cumulative Supplement explores one of the most closely watched cases since enactment of the Bayh-Dole Act, Stanford University v. Roche Molecular Systems, concluding that the Act preserved the stability of established legal doctrines in patent and contract law. The supplement also explores:

• A private sector collaborator that successfully enforced the Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) provisions to protect its proprietary information in a federally-funded research collaboration
• Emerging areas concerning university “duty” in the administration of intellectual property developed by its employee-inventors and provides a useful analytic approach for analyzing emerging various doctrinal strains in this area
• The history and use of compulsory licensing in Canada
• Universities’ creative approaches to technology commercialization through focused efforts to support faculty innovation and entrepreneurship
