If I had to characterize the year 2011 in the world of university technology transfer, I would describe it as a year of “wait and see.” Of course several notable events happened — for example, patent reform and a Supreme Court case that clarified limitations on university patent ownership. But my sense was that this year’s big events will make their true impact felt over the longer term.
With no further ado, here’s the short list.
- American Invents Act
- Stanford vs. Roche
- Drug companies begin to invest in Chinese R&D labs
- More proof that entrepreneurship is not a level playing field
- Who took New York? Cornell vs. Stanford
