WIPO Project: Enabling IP Environment (EIE)
This project is supported by WIPO-Japan Funds in Trust (FIT).
PURPOSE:
Assisting Universities to help Accelerate
the National Innovation Economy via Transfer of Knowledge
(called ‘Knowledge Transfer’/’Technology Transfer’/’Commercialization’) in selected South East Asia countries.
Academic Technology Transfer: Definitions
Technology Transfer is the importation of finished products which tends to suppresses local innovation and restricts the economy.
Academic Technology Transfer is the transfer of knowledge from a national lab or campus to the private sector to help solve a problem or create a product which enhances innovation and improves the economy.
Academic Technology Transfer – the Process. Identify research results with commercial potential; evaluate the potential; protect the intellectual property (IP); find a corporate partner; transfer the legal right to attempt to commercialize the IP and research results into a product.
Academic Technology Transfer: Definitions - 2
Intellectual Property is knowledge which is protectable nationally via government i.e. Patent, Copyright, or simply retained as knowledge called ‘Know-How’.
Focus of EIE Project: q Innovation system – Policies + Budget + Opportunities.
q Organizational structure – academic and corporate ‘intrapreneurs’.
q Competency based capacity building – academic and corporate.
q IP Commercialization process.
q Collaborations (Gov-Univ-R&D institutions-Industry)
– Networked community to address societal and corporate challenges.
