SUBJECT: Licensing Unpatentable Research Laboratory Devices
Many UCSD researchers may have invented small devices that aid in their research. These useful inventions are rarely commercialized because they do not command a sufficiently large commercial
market, or large scientific supply houses are simply not aware of them. If you have invented a device that makes your research efforts faster, more efficient, or improves your research capability in some other way, you may be able to benefit from it without diverting efforts away from your research.
There is a local company interested in these kinds of "orphan" devices and would like to review them for suitability. Any income received from these licensing efforts will be distributed as per the University of California Patent Policy. If you have such a device and are interested in having it reviewed for commercial applicability, please call the Technology Transfer Office at x45815. We will ask you to fill out a relatively simple form and
will advise the company of your invention. Please make this information available to researchers in your area without email.
