Universities have plumbed a rich source of cash in recent years by aggressively patenting and licensing faculty inventions, but some schools now want to set limits on the practice.
Eleven characteristics were identified by the OVC Admissions Committee and a survey was sent to all licensed veterinarians in Ontario (n=4,068), OVC students (n=450), and OVC faculty, interns and residents (n=192).
The final version of the survey and a cover letter were sent to all stakeholder groups: all licensed veterinarians in Ontario (n=4,068), OVC students (n=450), and OVC faculty, interns and residents (n=192).
If you do find worthwhile inventions, discuss licensing directly with the faculty.
"They are typical L.M.S.'s — software that's licensed, often for quite a bit of money, to school administrations and then provided to the faculty, primarily as a way to keep files and grades".
The selection criteria for inclusion in the study was that the selected participants must be faculty members, have active research programs and be successful academic entrepreneurs based on having obtained patents, licensed intellectual property and created start-up companies.
Furthermore, let's create a competitive market in technology licensing by enabling faculty inventors more freedom to license their federally funded innovations, without having to be hostage to their own universities' licensing offices.
(4) Research capability: faculty's performance assessment focuses on research publications (number of papers and books), rather than knowledge application in practice such as patents licensing and consulting for firms.
