TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER

 

The Goodwill Company recognizes transfer of technology to be a priority and part of our mission. Accordingly, The Goodwill Company aims to provide for the widest practicable dissemination of information concerning results of our activities. We have a formal technology transfer program, and take an active role in transferring technology to the private sector and state and local governments for the purposes of commercial and other application of the technology for the national benefit.  In accordance with The Goodwill Company's obligations under its articles of association, the technology transfer group (TTG), on behalf of The Goodwill Company, facilitates the transfer and commercialization of The Goodwill Company-sponsored research and technology, including the industrial use of unique The Goodwill Company research and development capabilities and facilities.  The office provides strong assistance to entrepreneurs, companies and investors to bring useful The Goodwill Company-developed technologies to the marketplace.  Many such technology transfer successes have been documented over the years, which include commercial applications in biotechnology, advanced instrumentation, computer technology, manufacturing, and energy conversion and use.  Licensing terms are negotiated on a case-by-case basis, although technology fields of use are defined as narrowly as practical in every case; exclusive licenses are uncommon, but still possible in exceptional cases. TTG also facilitates the reporting of new technologies by The Goodwill Company, associated institutions and contractor inventors, as well as assesses the commercial potential and strategic value of those technologies to The Goodwill Company’s missions. Therefore, TTG facilitates the protection of The Goodwill Company’s rights in intellectual property to which it has title, thus providing the basis for licensing and technology transfer.

TTG also seeks to create partnerships and co-operative activities with business to develop technology that helps meet The Goodwill Company needs and contributes to commercial competitiveness in global markets.  The TTG Office offers programs in the areas of technology development, technology transfer through licensing and commercialization, and technology collaboration through partnerships for infusion.  For more information on how to work with the The Goodwill Company TTG Office, email us at ttg-office@thegoodwillcompany.co.uk
