Notes de l'éditeur
- Photo features one of USC’s success stories: Light Stage technology which emerged out of the USC Institute for Creative Technologies (reference: http://ict.usc.edu/prototypes/light-stages/). Photo-realistic simulations create characters and digital assets for films like Avatar and Spiderman II
- Mark Stevens is a USC Viterbi School of Engineering alumnus and current USC Trustee. He is a top-ranked Silicon Valley venture capitalist and longtime university benefactor. In March 2015, Stevens and his wife Mary also donated $50 million to endow and name the USC Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute.
- Our approach is to build a bridge between research and commercial development. Here are the two pillars of the Stevens Center and how they merge into our common goals. Tech comm. includes invention disclosure management, patent strategy, filing and maintenance, proof of concept funding, research reagents transfer, intellectual property licensing and bespoke marketing. navigate the vast landscape of cutting-edge innovation at USC to identify and access resources that deliver results.
- The Stevens senior team now includes Lisa Andaleon, MA, Director Operations, Licensing & Innovation; Vasiliki Anest, Ph.D., Senior Director Corporate Collaborations; Michael Rondelli, MBA, JD and myself. In building this team, my aim has been to recruit senior talent who are experienced at bridging private industry with the university. Collectively, the senior management team includes 38 years of experience working in the private sector and 43 years of experience working for academic/research institutions.
- Our functions are laid out at the top: Licensing, Corporate Collaborations, Patents/Contracts and Operations The corresponding services are itemized under each function To be noted for Jen Dyer: * For internal training purposes, each responsible team leader would develop a slide, as needed, for each of the services listed under each broader function
- Reviewing and making a decision on all complete disclosures within 30 days of receipt; communicating all ongoing patent decisions at least 60 days in advance ofany deadline; sending out an initial MTA within 3 days ofreceiving all required information; reviewing IP terms in sponsored research and other agreements within 5 business days of receipt; holding individual faculty and lab meetings as requested; and providing seminars related to technology commercialization and corporate collaborations for faculty and students
- Note: during internal use, we would click on the hyper link and demonstrate to a faculty member how to do an invention disclosure or an MTA request
- Disclosure: USC researchers disclose their discoveries and inventions through our confidential submission process. Emphasize on the convenience of online disclosure, with demo. Preliminary review: We conduct a preliminary review to determine whether to file a patent application on the invention. This involves: A review of the invention disclosure An interview with the inventors Research regarding the market, competitive technologies, and prior art Intellectual property protection: If the university decides to invest in patenting the invention, we will engage outside counsel to file a patent application. When appropriate, the university may utilize copyright, trade secret, or trademark rights to commercialize university inventions or works of authorship per USC’s Intellectual Property Policy. Business development: We start contacting industry leaders (companies, entrepreneurs, and investors) who may be suitable partners to get feedback on the technology, both through our contact list and through industry events, conferences, and online. Ongoing assessment: Because obtaining a patent is a long and costly process and can take years, we separate licensed and unlicensed technology. For licensed technology, the licensee assumes the costs of obtaining and maintaining the patent. For unlicensed technology, we will regularly assess each technology with the goal of determining whether to continue our investment based on evolving commercialization prospects. Licensing: Business development activities may result in one or more potential partners conducting an in-depth examination of the technology and market opportunity. If a prospect decides it wants to license a technology, it will present a plan for commercialization and negotiate business terms with USC Stevens. From there, USC Stevens prepares a formal agreement draft, negotiates, and ultimately executes the license. Commercial development: The path to commercial markets varies, depending on the nature of the invention, the market it addresses, and its stage of development. Under the terms of the license agreement, the licensee is required to commercialize the invention and provide regular progress reports to the university on its commercialization activities. The inventors may continue to be involved in development activities with the commercialization partner. License income: Royalties and other revenue received by USC under the license agreement are shared with USC inventors in accordance with the USC Intellectual Property Policy. In some circumstances, licensing income is shared with inventors, their departments, and their schools. See our Revenue Distribution FAQ here.
- Emphasis: our process is not linear. Researchers can work with us at any point in this CYCLE.
