DNA Detection Technology Overview
Target Gene (~300bp)
Fluorescent Probe(~25 bases)
+
Melting; ssDNA
(-) Negative; no targetgene in sample
(+) Positive; target genepresent in sample
+
Gold nanoparticlePositive (+) ID = Sample IS fluorescent
Negative (-) ID = Sample IS NOT fluorescent
Excess probe quenched
Intellectual Property Policy Projects• Research and Analysis of IP Topics Relevant to
Technology Commercialization • Examples
– Managing IP in Complex Research Environments• IP Identification, Capture, Exploitation
– University-Industry Sponsored Research• Trends, New Initiatives, Points of Disagreement, Points of
Agreement
• Uses– Implement IP Management Policies– Reduce Sponsored Research Transaction Costs– Facilitate University-Industry Collaboration
Externally Initiated Projects Involving Third Party Technology in which CIMS and RIT Faculty, Staff and Students participate
Flow Chart “C”—Initial Project Phase
Step 1: Inventory IP an Knowledge/Technology Inputs
List all CIMS, RIT, or third party IP inputs and any non-protected technology to be utilized in this project
Step 2: Identify Ancillary IP Opportunities
Preliminarily attempt to identify ancillary IP arising during the course of this project
(Patent, copyright, business method, etc.)
Step 3: Review IP Recordation/Documentation Policy
Remind CIMS’ and RIT Personnel to adhere to established IP policies
-Lab notebook policy (update/witness)
-Technology disclosure
Step 4: Establish Monitoring Protocols
Determine project specific methods for monitoring IP documentation and reporting
