Intellectual Property Technology Transfer explains the legal framework for the licensing and research transactions between industry and all federally and privately funded research laboratories over technology development and transfer, and the associated intellectual property rights. This treatise maps out the legal landscape in the burgeoning field of technology transfer that is too often bogged down by bureaucracy and incomplete access to information about the laws governing it. Intellectual Property Technology Transfer is the only resource that provides a comprehensive analysis of all of the central legal issues confronting and governing the interactions between industry interests and research laboratories doing basic research.

The 2010 Cumulative Supplement covers major new cases,  including Stanford v. Roche; eBay Inc. v. MercExchange, L.L.C.; Campbell Plastics Engineering & Manufacturing, Inc. v. Brownlee; and Merck KGaA v. Integra Lifesciences I, Ltd. The book briefly explains the rulings' importance in language that is appropriate for experienced practitioners in the field. There is also new information on the substantive changes resulting from the revisions to the FAR sections governing patent, software, and technical data rights under government contracts, and the significant changes to the German Law on Employee Inventions (LEI) resulting from the Law on Simplification and Modernization of the Patent Law. Additionally, new restrictions on university industry involvement are discussed, as well as how they have prompted tighter restrictions of university actions and policies.

Aline C. Flower, Editor-in-Chief of the main volume, is Associate General Counsel at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Seattle, Washington, supporting the Global Development Program for which she advises on all intellectual property matters related to proposals and grants. Wesley D. Blakeslee, Co-Editor-in-Chief of the 2010 Cumulative Supplement, is Executive Director of Technology Transfer at The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, where he leads an office of more than 40 professionals who help commercialize the discoveries and inventions of university faculty members.
