Tech Transfer and Intellectual Property
On 11/7/2012, Gaylene Anderson came to our ME 223 class and gave a presentation on Technology Transfer and Intellectual Property. She works at the University in the Technology Transfer Office and it was a pleasure to get to listen to her presentation.
In this post, I will discuss three of the ideas that stuck with me in my own words and how they apply to my current Academic and long term career, and the project that we are working on in class.
3 Ideas:
1. While remaining simple an ideas success in the consumer world depends on it's uniqueness.
- Why: Knowing what is expected for a project I can set my goals at that level and make efforts to easily obtain them.
- Meaning: Everyone wants something no one else has. Consumers want solutions which work well. People will buy products like this.
- How: I can keep these requirements always in my minds eye when designing and planning. I can build simple creative designs.
- This means that everyone has something to offer, and efforts should be made to create or pursue those ideas which I conclude could be successful.
- Knowing that my ideas could be successful is empowering. I must also remember that confidentiality of intellectual property is a big concern, and ideas are not safe.
- I can research, design and create what I believe will be successful to take my goals and ambitions past where I thought possible. I can make a difference in others lives, or money if I choose to.
- This means we should be doing things that actualize our ideas in college.
- Why? I am in college.
- I can do this by finding ideas that interest me, determine if they stand a chance on the market by discussing the basics with friends and doing outside research. Finally, nothing is stopping me from working hard and making dreams real.
