The ANR Office of Contracts & Grants and the UC Davis Innovation Access Office will present an Intellectual Property and Technology Transfer workshop on Thursday, April 10, from 9 a.m. to 12 noon.
ANR Contracts & Grants and UC Davis Innovation Access work together to support the continuum of innovation at ANR – from developing a new research project with a sponsor to protecting new inventions and transferring technologies to industry partners for commercializing in the marketplace.
This workshop will explain your rights, as a UC employee, under UC Patent Policy, and will detail the technology transfer process for new inventions. It will also explain why Intellectual Property language in research agreements is important and how it can have implications lasting after the research project is concluded.
Presenters include:
- Kathleen P. Nolan, J.D. Director, ANR Office of Contracts & Grants
- Randi Jenkins, J.D., Associate Director, UCD Sponsored Programs Office (and former UCD Innovation Access Licensing Officer)
- Nancy Rashid, Ph.D., Licensing officer, UCD Innovation Access Office.
There will be an opportunity to ask questions at the end of the workshop.
UC Cooperative Extension county directors, advisors, specialists and other interested ANR faculty and staff should attend. Specialists based at UC Berkeley or UC Riverside are encouraged to participate and will find this workshop very helpful even though they use the Technology Transfer Offices on their respective campuses for invention reporting.
The workshop will be held in the San Joaquin Valley Conference Room of the ANR Building at 2801 Second Street in Davis.
For those unable to attend in person, or if space is no longer available, the workshop will be available via AdobeConnect.
