Industry Sponsored Research
• Educating the academic community about appropriate methods for protecting intellectual property
• Accelerating the development of UCLA discoveries for the public good
• Promoting economic growth in California
• Facilitating collaborations with industry for next-generation scientific breakthroughs.
The Mission of UCLA Tech Transfer
• Manage all inventions created by UCLA faculty, staff, postdocs, and students
– Accept invention reports from the above people
– Assign invention to a Licensing Officer who analyzes the report for several key aspects (obligations to third parties, patentability, commercial potential, potential licensees)
– Make a decision on whether or not to file for patent protection
• Market the inventions to find a commercial partner
• Negotiate, sign, and manage all of the licensing agreements giving companies or start ups rights to practice university intellectual property.
• Negotiate, sign and manage all sponsored research agreements with industry sponsors.
What do we do?
• Federal law enacted in 1980
• A fundamental change to patent ownership.
• University owns patent rights to inventions sponsored by the U.S. government
• University reports inventions to government and tries to commercialize
• Government gets a non-exclusive license
• Preference for Small Business licensee
• Royalties must (1) be shared with inventor and; (2) be used for research and education. UCLA policy is 50% back to UCLA general fund, 15% to the department, and 35% to inventor(s).
Bayh-Dole Act(35 U.S.C. §200-212)
Confidential Disclosure Agreements: Allows for disclosure of an invention to potentially interested company if the invention has not become public.
-protects patentability- disclosures under a CDA not considered public
-recipient contractually agrees not to share the information
Material Transfer Agreements: Allows for the transfer of materials to or from a company.
-protects ownership of the material-protects against potential liability
Sponsored Research or Collaboration Agreements: Sets out a scope of work and budget for work being done at UCLA or at UCLA and the company
-can give certain rights to new inventions developed
