You are invited to participate in a free lunchtime webinar for new faculty/researchers at UNL!
“From Research to Marketplace: An Intro to Intellectual Property for Academic Researchers”
Hosted by NUtech Ventures
Tuesday, September 22, 2020
12:00-1:15pm
Successful research programs will generate discoveries – and therefore intellectual property (IP) – and decisions must be made regarding whether and how to protect those discoveries. Faculty and other academic researchers should have a working understanding of IP and technology transfer in order to take advantage of commercialization opportunities and to make informed decisions about publication, material-sharing, and other issues that can impact the value of IP arising from university research. This presentation will cover the basics of IP and technology transfer to help faculty use available resources, avoid IP-related problems, and maximize opportunities.
After hearing from our guest speaker, Jessica Lewis, Partner at Quarles & Brady LLP, we will have plenty of time for your questions on the above topics. We will also hear briefly from Zane Gernhart, Senior Technology Manager at NUtech Ventures, about how and when you should reach out to the NUtech team about your work. This webinar will be especially helpful for new faculty and postdocs. Graduate students who perform research are also welcome to participate.
