Abstract

Academic institutions can be made beneficial to the biotechnology industry through the transfer of information, technical expertise, materials and potential products. Commercialization of research is very important not only for the inventors, but also for the university and the industry. The universities, to be more actively involved in this process, should employ expert patent agents, who will be superior to university administrators in the area of technological transfer, will educate academicians on various ways of patenting and commercialization and help file preliminary patent applications.
