Metodología para la Transferencia de Tecnología BU

Estrategia de comercialización y transferencia de tecnología de la Universidad de Boston, desarrollada y explicada por Vinit Nijhawan: 

1.       Restructuring the organization into three distinct teams:

·         Business development, which encourages faculty to submit invention disclosures and educates them about the commercialization process;

·         Intellectual property and licensing, which manages all transactions; and

·         Operations, which manages finance, administration, and human resources.

2.      Implementation of a program to maximize collisions. This included launching a marketing strategy to draw attention from industry, focusing on new ventures, forming an external advisory board to support the OTD managing director, and reviewing the entire licensed portfolio for opportunities to maximize revenue.

3.      Implementation of a program to minimize friction. BU established a working group of new venture lawyers in Boston and, with their guidance, developed the BU EZ Express Startup License to reduce the “redlining” back and forth between attorneys in start-up deals. It also created web-based electronic forms and began using electronic signatures, and at the same time developed a process for making quick decisions on the return of inventions to faculty.

4.      Established a set of OTD metrics that included faculty outreach, process improvement, and new venture spin-offs.
