When you publish in scholarly journals, you’re usually required to give up some rights in your work. In this workshop, librarians will show you what to look for in author contracts and ways to hold onto rights to share and reuse your work. We’ll also practice negotiating a publishing contract. This session is part of the Intellectual Property Lunch and Learn Series cosponsored with the Technology Licensing Office. Food will be served.

It has been said that content is king. 

Copyrighted works – whether media, software, or art – are a major portion of the world’s creative, intellectual, and economic output.   As such, copyright issues affect musicians, artists, authors, and software programmers alike.  

This popular talk offers a fun and interesting look at the protection of your creative works of authorship whether developed in the lab at MIT or elsewhere.

Join Daniel Dardani, Technology Licensing Officer and intellectual property expert for an overview of copyright law, its history, practice, and relevance to your world and to the MIT community. 

Daniel will explore topics including: the nature of originality, Fair Use, open source, how copyrights can be licensed in the digital age, and others. All are welcomed. No prior knowledge about IP or the law is required.

Come and hear Jack Turner, Associate Director of the MIT Technology Licensing Office and IP Officer Theresa Latham, discuss the ins and outs of obtaining patents. This popular session covers a bit of patent history and a lot about current practices, processes, and issues surrounding obtaining a patent; the focus is on the process used at MIT for ideas/inventions developed by the MIT community. A portion of the session is devoted to questions and answers. If you think you will ever invent something, you need to be here. This session is part of the Intellectual Property Lunch and Learn Series cosponsored with the Technology Licensing Office. Food will be served.

Technology transfer is the movement of knowledge and discoveries to the general public. This transfer is generally affected by means of IP licensing agreements (contracts) between universities and private companies.

For MIT, however, technology transfer refers to the formal licensing of technology to third parties, managed and administered by the TLO.

Jack Turner and Lauren Foster will walk you through the commercialization process, patenting decisions, and the MIT policies when it comes to technology transfer. 

This session is part of the Intellectual Property Lunch and Learn Series co-sponsored with the MIT Libraries. 

Lunch will be served between 11:30 - 12:30 PM, which will then be followed by a complementing session on “The Engine and early stage venture fundraising” .

Since 2002, the Deshpande Center has helped spur the creation of 32 spinout companies. These firms, which have raised over $600 million in capital, are developing and delivering ground-breaking products and services that not only change people’s lives today but have the long-term potential to transform key markets including energy and lighting, health care, medical research, and information technology.

 Karen Golmer (Innovator in Residence) will be here to tell you what the Deshpande Center can offer you, and to help you learn more about other resources that exist on the MIT campus. Karen will also tell us how one goes about commercializing university research. 

 If you're an MIT researcher, you  need to be here to know what options are available to you.   

This session is part of the Intellectual Property Lunch and Learn Series co-sponsored with the MIT Libraries.

Many researchers promote and share their publications on sites like ResearchGate and Academia.edu. Come to this IAP session to learn about how sharing on these sites relates to copyright and open access, as well as how the sites compare to institutional and subject repositories like DSpace@MIT or arXiv. We'll also discuss recent ResearchGate controversies and lawsuits. This session is part of the Intellectual Property Lunch and Learn Series cosponsored with the Technology Licensing Office.

Novel therapeutic platforms usually go through the phases of initial enthusiasm, followed by a trough of disappointment to meet the initial hype, and then after years of solving the technical challenges commercial clinical success is achieved. 

Nucleic acids drugs targeting RNA and the genome provide excellent examples of these cycles. 

Tod Woolf (Technology Licensing Officer) will describe work of his biotech teams and other biotechs in the area of antisense, RNAi and therapeutic editing that reflect phases of these boom bust cycles, with an emphasis on how chemical modification of nucleic acid drugs contributed to the enablement of nucleic acid therapeutic platforms.
