Two Webinars for Tech Transfer to Improve R&D Engagement
Fuentek will discuss ways to enhance
the relationship between R&D and tech transfer.
This summer, Fuentek will present two webinars you won’t want to miss. Both focus on how to enhance the relationship between the researchers developing intellectual property (IP) and the technology transfer office (TTO) professionals tasked with protecting and commercializing it. Because by doing so, both departments can be more successful.
Note: The live webinars were recorded and are available at the links below.

When it comes to invention disclosures, quality far outweighs quantity. Giving inventors a top-notch form to fill out is a good first step toward receiving high-quality disclosures. But outreach is also vital.
Educating researchers on how to articulate their invention’s commercial viability not only increases the quality of their disclosures. It also helps build solid relationships that positively contribute to the TTO’s long-term success.

Targeted at university TTOs, the principles discussed in this webinar readily applies to federal labs, nonprofit research institutions, and even private companies.
5 Things IP and R&D Teams Should Never Hide from Each Other

Collaboration is key to the success of an organization’s IP and R&D departments. Rather than operate independently, truly successful IP/tech transfer offices and R&D units maintain open lines of communication. Such engagement maximizes the value of patenting and commercialization resources while ensuring the investment in R&D doesn’t go to waste.
