NAPLES, Fla. (BusinessWire EON) April 4, 2007 -- Professionals and administrators concerned with the practical details of successfully implementing and growing technology transfer, research commercialization, and translational research will find helpful advice in the unique, new monthly newsletter, Technology Transfer Tactics (www.technologytransfertactics.com).

Its 16 pages per issue are devoted exclusively to helping organizations identify, license, develop and bring to market their valuable intellectual property, such as research and patents. Reporters and editors continuously dig out for subscriber benefit, worldwide, expert advice and case histories which will help readers:

• Increase the flow of inventions and disclosures within their group
• Triage and assess patent applications and other protective measures
• Market innovations more effectively to corporations and investors
• Strengthen licensing, royalty and joint-venture agreements
• Tighten post-licensing performance monitoring
• Develop and manage lucrative spinouts and startups.

In every article, stress is put on finding and revealing actionable information, usable advice, detailed how-to strategies, and efficient shortcuts. Potential legal traps are also spotlighted so they can be avoided (e.g. confidentiality and disclosure, sublicenses and assignment, material transfer agreements, etc.).

The premiere issue, now available, includes articles detailing:

• How universities earned “millions of dollars” licensing their courseware
• Hidden perils of “royalty stacking clauses”
• Speedy “rules of thumb” for valuing new research
• Acceleration of research-industry match-ups through “speed dating”
• Boosting disclosures and licensing income through a “triage” process
• New, standardized material transfer agreements
• Whether student “helpers” have the right to be co-inventors
