This paper describes the author's involvement in the early experiences of a start-up biotechnology company created outside the university environment. In this case, two self-employed, entrepreneurial scientists with no university affiliation developed commercializable intellectual property. Falling outside the more common university technology commercialization process, there were a number of issues that were quite different from those a typical university start-up company might face, and these are illustrated. Most importantly, this case is an exemplar of how other non-university entrepreneurs might contemplate utilizing universities to further their technology commercialization objectives.

This paper analyses how UK academics can make money from their expertise, other than through earning their salary. Using statistics from the success rate and likely remuneration from recent examples, four options are discussed: licensing their intellectual property through their institution's technology transfer office, owning shares in a 'spin-out' company, personal consulting and writing books. The case of the 'average' academic who does not actively pursue any of these goals, the 'active' academic who pursues any one of them, and the top tier academic who is in the top 10 per cent of their profession worldwide are examined. In all cases, consulting is the most economically rewarding option. For the 'average' academic, being involved in a venture-funded start-up is the worst.

The Right

Today, the protection of intellectual property rights and legitimate interests of citizens is guaranteed by Article 55 of the Constitution of Ukraine, which provides and guarantees to everyone who uses all national forms of legal protection, protection of rights and freedoms in court. According to the second part of Art. 124 of the Basic Law, the jurisdiction of the courts extends to any legal dispute and all legal relations arising in the state. In addition to the constitutional right to administrative and judicial protection of intellectual property, the rules of special legislation in the field of intellectual property also determine other types of protection. In particular, part of the first article. 52 of the Law of Ukraine «On Copyright and Related Rights», to protect their copyrights and (or) related rights, entities have the right in accordance with the established procedure to apply to the court and other authorities in accordance with their competence. It is emphasized that the specifics of the protection of intellectual property is that there may be different ways to protect the violated subjective right to choose the person whose rights are violated. Today, the state system of intellectual property protection in Ukraine has an extensive system of state bodies involved in ensuring the protection of intellectual property. Based on the analysis of normative legal acts and scientific opinions, the article analyzes the activities of public administration entities in the field of intellectual property protection (Ministry for Development of Economy, Trade and Agriculture, National Intellectual Property Authority, Ukrainian Institute of Intellectual Property, Department of Intellectual Property). It is noted that in connection with the reorganization of the state system of intellectual property protection, instead of a three-tier structure, a two-tier structure is proposed. It is established that the current standing of the state system of intellectual property protection does not fully comply with international standards and principles in the field of intellectual property. It is proved that the presented state system of intellectual property protection contains significant shortcomings, the ways of improvement its activities are proposed.

Evolution Of Technology

One significant aspect of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center's charitable mission is to ensure that its research results benefit society at large. This is accomplished through researcher education, securing appropriate intellectual property protection and licensing so that inventions are developed into useful products. The Swan-Ganz and Barath balloon catheters each represent different stages in the evolution of technology transfer at Cedars-Sinai. To capture revenues from its own technologies, Cedars-Sinai learned about the benefit of having established technology transfer practices through its experience with a blockbuster invention developed before its Technology Transfer Office existed. Cedars-Sinai subsequently felt that it should share its technology transfer experience and train researchers and administrators in Central and Eastern Europe.

Technology transfer is the lifeblood of building a sustainable biotechnology industry. This paper considers the development of the technology transfer industry, and particularly its influence on the role it has played in the growth biotechnology in the UK. It identifies some of the key skills necessary to exploit intellectual property successfully and how these were effected in the case of one start-up company. It identifies some of the challenges facing the industry, including the need to retain staff, to be able to invest in technology for the longer term and to have the space and other facilities to incubate fledgling companies.

AbstractIntellectual property plays an important role in the sustainable development of an university. Nowadays we can not talk about economic growth respectively about innovation and technology transfer if there is no analysis regarding the place and role of intellectual property protection in universities done. In this context, the authors conducted a study and have expressed a view on how the Intellectual Property policies must be understood and implemented later in an advanced scientific research and education university.
