Most of the know-how related to the patented technology, however, stays with the licensor. But in technology licensing, the transaction between licensor and licensee is of a much wider scope. In such a transaction, the licensor commits to transferring much more than the bare legal right to use the patented technology. In this paper, the author discusses about the difference in the patent licensing and technology licensing. The market for intellectual property has grown so fast that it is time to speak of a real intellectual economy. Now technology licensing is the fastest and the most cost-efficient way to market-introduction of a new product. Thus technology licensing is the need of the hour as it creates win-win forms of cooperation. <br/> <br/>Page(s): 421-425 Mon, 29 Aug 2005 22:58:59 GMT http://nopr.niscair.res.in/handle/123456789/3682 Title: Medical Device Development – A Novel Experience in Patenting and Technology Transfer <br/> <br/>Authors: Bhuvaneshwar, G S; Ranjit, D <br/> <br/>Abstract: The Biomedical Technology Wing of Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology (SCTIMST) was set up to develop appropriate technologies to meet the health care needs of India with a variety of facilities for research and development in biomaterials and medical devices. The institute has developed and transferred 12 technologies for com-mercial production and six others are in advanced stages of transfer. Apart from the direct savings in foreign exchange, the lower price of these competitive indigenous products has in every instance, helped to keep down the price of the imported counterparts. Novel methods of technology transfer have been developed to ensure successful commercialization in the country, where a medical devices industry hardly existed. The strategies using novel approaches and their development and changes with time are described in the paper. <br/> <br/>Page(s): 417-420 Mon, 29 Aug 2005 22:58:59 GMT http://nopr.niscair.res.in/handle/123456789/3681 Title: Technology Transfer from a Technical University: A Case Study of IIT Delhi <br/> <br/>Authors: Bhattacharya, Partha <br/> <br/>Abstract: The paper touches upon the global perspective of technology transfer process from technical universities and academic institutions. The role of FITT (Foundation for Innovation and Technology Transfer), the technology transfer office of IIT, Delhi, is described. The different components of technology transfer process, some successful case studies from the institute are described. With globalisation of Indian economy, it is time that entrepreneurs and the industry at large in India should develop effective interactive relationship with the academia with a view to enhancing technological capability for competitive advantage. <br/> <br/>Page(s): 413-416 Mon, 29 Aug 2005 22:58:59 GMT http://nopr.niscair.res.in/handle/123456789/3680 Title: Encouraging Protection of Public Research Results in Spain <br/> <br/>Authors: Represa-Sánchez, Domingo <br/> <br/>Abstract: Although one of the goals of research at universities and public research bodies is to contribute to the advancement of knowledge, these bodies are also expected to contribute to the innovations being developed in their own respective national or regional systems. The only way to satisfy both the industrial application of scientific results and their necessary dissemination throughout the scientific community at the same time is to previously protect the research activity under the various systems of industrial and intellectual property rights. Unfortunately, this precautionary step is quite uncommon amongst research groups in many countries, and specific action is therefore required of their umbrella institutions in order to ensure that such protection is implemented in an effective way. This article describes results of the experience since 1986 to promote the industrial protection of research at Spanish universities. To achieve this goal, a range of science policy initiatives were undertaken: training in processing patents for technicians involved in universities interface structures, cooperation with the Spanish Patents Office and other related bodies, encouragement for research groups to ensure the industrial protection of their results and support for researchers and public bodies in the patent registration procedure. <br/> <br/>Page(s): 382-388 Mon, 29 Aug 2005 22:58:59 GMT
