The objective of this project is to develop national acceptance of general principles governing intellectual property negotiations between U.S. universities and industry, thereby allowing the once-healthy relationship between education/training and commercial/economic development to reestablish itself in the U.S. In the last year, the project team has focused on strengthening university-industry research partnerships through a nationally accepted set of tools and guiding principles designed to support productive university-industry collaborations. The project is divided into four teams, each focused on developing work products that will be part of this national toolkit. the work products include: a set of Guiding Principles for University-Industry Partnerships, a working educational tool for practitioners that will allow for the construction of intellectual property agreements, a compilation of living studies that exemplify best practices in university-industry collaborations, and the development of an continuing forum for demonstrations of solutions to difficult IP problems. Currently the U-I Partnership Project team is engaged in outreach activities with other stakeholder organizations to garner sign-on support for the Guiding Principles. On April 25, 2006 we will hold a National University-Industry Summit where we will kick off the next phase of the project which will focus specifically on developing the toolkit, tentatively named TurboNegotiations and creating a University-Industry Demonstration Partnership.
