Potential licensees are strongly suggested to conduct their own due diligence before entering into a licensing discussion with OTC. Consider including provisions that address unmet needs, such as those of neglected patient populations or geographic areas, giving particular attention to improved therapeutics, diagnostics and agricultural technologies for the developing world.Universities should anticipate and help to manage technology transfer-related conflicts of interest.Strive to minimize the licensing of “future improvements”.Exclusive licenses should be structured in a manner that encourages technology development and use.Universities should reserve the right to practice licensed inventions and to allow other non-profit and governmental organizations to do so.OTC has endorsed the Association of University Technology Manager’s (AUTM) list of points to consider as companies license inventions from a university. Once interests are identified, we will work together with the inventors to describe the technical details and advantages of the invention to potential licensees under a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). We also attend conferences and industry events to promote our technology. The UTD Office of Technology Commercialization (OTC )uses the online database Inteum to allow industry to search available UT Dallas technologies.
