What is Technology Transfer?
• Process of transferring skills, knowledge,
technologies, methods of manufacturing, samples
of manufacturing and facilities
among governments or universities and other
institutions to ensure that scientific and
technological developments are accessible to a
wider range of users who can then further develop
and exploit the technology into new products,
processes, applications, materials or services

A Continuum of Options
• There are a continuum of commercialization options
– Open Source/Creative Commons
– Copyright/trademark licenses
– Patentable innovations that are not patent protected
– Patented innovations
• UNH Examples:
– Polyfrag software (Meghan MacLean)
– Plant varieties developed by Brent Loy

Bayh-Dole Act
• Patent and Trademark Law Amendments Act
• Patentable intellectual property arising from federal
government-funded research
• Pre-1980:
– Federal research funding contracts and grants obligated
inventors (where ever they worked) to assign inventions
they made using federal funding to the federal government
• Post-1980:
– Bayh–Dole permits a university, small business, or non-
profit institution to elect to pursue ownership of an
invention in preference to the government
© 2015 University of New Hampshire | innovation.unh.edu14

Bayh-Dole Act
• Encourage utilization of inventions produced under federal funding
• Permits universities (all non-profits) and small business to elect to retain title
to inventions made in performance of the federally funded program
• Permits exclusive licensing with transfer of an invention to the marketplace
for public good. Government receives royalty-free, non-exclusive license to
use for government purposes (including use by government contractors)
• University must disclose invention to the government within two months
after disclosure to university
• University has two years after disclosure to the government in which to elect
title. If title is elected by the university, a patent application must be filed. If
title is not elected by university, the right to take title defaults to the
government
• Make efforts to attract, and give preference to, small business licensees
© 2015 University of New Hampshire | innovation.unh.edu15

Bayh-Dole Act
• Share royalties with the inventor
• Use the balance of royalties after
expenses for scientific research or
education
• University agrees to require, by written
agreement, its employees to disclose
promptly in writing each invention made
