Abstract

In this article, I argue that some academic technology transfer professionals are rethinking their mission, their models of success, and their public message. In particular, they are beginning to orientate their activities to take account more explicitly of the missions of academic institutions, the stated purposes of publicly funded research, and the goal of legislation governing academic patenting and licensing. Focusing on health-related technology transfer activities, which have attracted some of the strongest criticism, I review existing, emerging, and suggested practices aimed not at maximising profit but at maximising the social benefit of academic research, some of which employ sophisticated licensing of patented academic inventions and discoveries. These practices, I will argue, should be considered and, where appropriate, employed by academic technology transfer offices, both because they aim to secure a moral good and because they will help academic technology transfer offices achieve a kind of success that closely mirrors the missions of their institutions.

This article discusses a series of articles published in "Lancet" which suggested that trade and health are intertwined, though the relationship is dominated by trade. The series noted that trade has become of increasing interest among, public health professionals, especially in respect to issues such as international patent law and pharmaceutical pricing. According to researchers in a commentary included in the series, the fact that trade affects the health of the population makes it a key health issue that the health community can no longer ignore.
