About this title

Synopsis

Scientists in the laboratory often fail to take advantage of the commercial exploitation of their research. Technology Transfer is a careful account of how to start the process of commercialization of technology, and describes in detail the difficulties, and amount of time needed, to carry the process through to a successful conclusion. This book provides a much needed step-by-step guide to the commercialization of research. It addresses three major themes: how to protect your intellectual property; how to develop it commercially via licensing and business "start up"; and how to finance and manage your new company. This book is essential reading for any research scientist whose work has commercial applications.

From the Back Cover

This book is aimed at helping researchers to understand the commercial potential of their technology. It will help to bridge the communication gap and familiarise the reader with the plethora of functions, skills and processes that commercialisation requires.
