Accelerating the Licensing Process for To-Be-Developed Technologies
Abstract
For intellectual property and technologies to lead to commercial products injections of technical and commercial ideas, development resources, investment capital and business discipline are needed at determinant points along the way. This holds true if the inventing organization is a public sector laboratory chartered to develop technology for someone else to commercialize for the public good, or is a private sector for-profit company capable of commercializing itself, if it chooses to do so. The path from invention to product has twists, turns, surprises and delays even when one organization keeps control and ownership from beginning to end. When the inventing organization will not be the one to complete the technology development, but instead intends to license and transfer it to an acquiring party as To-Be-Developed Technology for that party to complete and commercialize, then a process discontinuity arises that adds delays and costs to both licensor and licensee unless both parties address the stumbling issues that stand in the way of a better and faster outcome.

In connection with the further development of licensed trade, a characteristic feature of the activity of the Giprokoks Institute is thorough expansion of scientific and technical relations with various countries of the world. Giprokoks actively cooperates with coking plants and institutes of the countries of the socialist community and with the leading firms and institutes of the capitalist countries. The Institute developed and assisted the Soviet coking industry in adopting a number of significant patentable innovations in the area of design of coke ovens and their equipment, coke quenching, recovery and refining of the chemical products of coking and themore »

Accelerating Spectrum Sharing Technologies
Spectrum sharing potentially holds the promise of solving the emerging spectrum crisis. However, technology innovators face the conundrum of developing spectrum sharing technologies without the ability to experiment and test with real incumbent systems. Interference with operational incumbents can prevent critical services, and the cost of deploying and operating an incumbent system can be prohibitive. Thus, the lack of incumbent systems and frequency authorization for technology incubation and demonstration has stymied spectrum sharing research. To this end, industry, academia, and regulators all require a test facility for validating hypotheses and demonstrating functionality without affecting operational incumbent systems.

Strategy for accelerating the use of energy-conserving building technologies
To accelerate the use of energy-conserving building technologies in the far-flung, decentralized buildings industry, a strategy for more directed transfer of government research to public- and private-sector users has been implemented. The strategy involves a cycle of four sets of activities: (1) Needs assessment; (2) development of transferable information; (3) outreach activities; and (4) feedback and evaluation. By employing this iterative technology transfer cycle and emphasizing trade and professional organizations as communication channels to and from users, it is hoped that research sponsored by the US Department of Energy's Building Systems Division will be responsive to the industry's needs andmore »
