An Overview of Technology Transfer and Intellectual Property Management Between Marie Science Resrch Initutions and the Commercial Sectol-° Hauke Kite-Powell and Porter Hoagland III Marne Policy Center Woos Hole Oceaographic Institution In this paper, we examine nonprofit/commercial interactions in the field of ocography, using the Woos Hole Ocographic Institution (WOI) as an example. The technology transfer and intellectual property management policies and practices of <strong>WHOI</strong> are examined and compared to those of universities, federally. funded R&D centers, and nonprofit scientific organizations in other fields of resech endeavor. By way of introduction, we outline a number of issues that face nonprofit resech institutions when they consider ways to enhance tehnology transfer. These issues are not necssaly novel, but they may be reciving renewed attention as a result of changing national trends in resech sponsorship (a growing share of private vs. public funding for R&D) or modifications of government policies (patent law changes, ta code amendments, and federal tehnology trsfer policy changes). The pursuit of private funding in the present time of tight public budgets is leading many nonprofit resech institutions to look more closely at technology transfer as a potential source of revenue. These and other changes in the marne technology development climate are described in greater detal in Broadus, Hoagland and Kite-Powell (1988). Technology Transfer: Issues an Ouestions Conflcts gf interest: The potential for conflcts of interest in interactions between resech institutions and the commercial setor depends strongly on three parameters: the legal environment, the goals of the individual institution, and the "norms" of scientific resech. Conflcts of interest may involve the channels of disclosure for resech results, the modification of reseach directions at nonprofit institutions by scientists who also have interests in related private ventures, the relative weights of scientific merit and commercial payoffs in the selection of resech topics, etc. 20 The contents of this paper are abstrcte from a working paper on technology trasfer and intellectual property management in the field of ocography by Hoagland and Kite-Powell (1989). 40
