By adopting the panel's proven best practices, you will achieve higher success rates, more effective use of staff time and patent budgets, and better relationships with faculty inventors. You'll also slash wasted time and effort, bring a higher percentage of high-promise innovations forward, and enable more confident decision-making when faced with competing priorities. Our esteemed panel will discuss all four key elements that should inform your patent and start-up assessments:
~ Market Evaluation
Does the technology/science/product address a critical unmet need and market opportunity?
~ Technology Evaluation
Does the technology/science/product data justify embarking on a development/commercialization plan?
~ IP Assessment
Is there a proprietary position that allows the product to return value to the investor and/or the university?
~ Business and Financing Plan
What are the near and medium term valuation milestones in the development of the product or company, and how will the company or university finance to those milestones?
