Pros and Cons of Faculty Participation in Licensing
January 01, 2005
The authors review conflicting aspects of faculty participation in licensing, focusing first on the pro side—that is, the apparent need for faculty involvement, not only in recognizing when their research has commercial potential, but also in development toward commercialization. They then discuss the con side—the extent to which faculty involvement with licensing compromises their traditional research agenda.
