Faculty owned (textbooks, manuscripts) Regental owned (commercial, course-related
materials) Trademarks
Logos, Bruin Bear (managed by ASUCLA) Trademarked Clinics or Programs (OIP & Campus
Counsel) Don’t do Trade Secrets…..

Patents:give you the right to exclude others from making, using or selling products/services that incorporate the invention
Copyrights:give you the right to exclude others from making copies, derivative works, and distributing the specific expression of your ideas.
Patents and Copyrights are Exclusionary Rights

Technology Transfer Mission is to support UCLA's research, education and public service mission by: Educating the academic community about
appropriate methods for protecting intellectual property
Accelerating the development of UCLA discoveries for the public good
Promoting economic growth in California
Facilitating collaborations with industry for next-generation scientific breakthroughs.

Bayh-Dole Act (35 U.S.C. §200-212) fostered Academic Tech Transfer
Federal law enacted in 1980 A fundamental change to patent ownership University owns patent rights to inventions
sponsored by the U.S.A. government University reports inventions to government and
tries to commercialize Government gets a non-exclusive license Preference for Small Business licensee Royalties must (1) be shared with inventor and; (2)
be used for research and education

How Does UCLA Oversee IP?
Office of Intellectual Property accepts faculty invention disclosures
Determines patentability Files patents or copyright Markets invention to potential business licensees or
research entities Reports on patents to sponsors. All for 20 years until the patent expires!
![Page 11: A Basic Primer on Intellectual Property Kathryn Atchison, DDS, MPH Vice Provost, Intellectual Property and Industry Relations Associate Vice Chancellor](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082710/56649e355503460f94b24337/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
When to License…….
Consider licensing if a big player is committed to developing the technology Most startups fail, and not just due to technology
(financing, management, economic climate) You are just as likely to see upside from licensing as from a
startup Licensing can bring in sponsored research to your lab A big player can bring developmental resources &
sales/marketing that no startup can
![Page 12: A Basic Primer on Intellectual Property Kathryn Atchison, DDS, MPH Vice Provost, Intellectual Property and Industry Relations Associate Vice Chancellor](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082710/56649e355503460f94b24337/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
When to do a Startup……
Disruptive technology that no company is currently seeking.
To bring in sponsored research to your lab Not to aggregate/”control” your IP UC bears costs of patenting and seeking commercial
partners/structuring deals- once you start a new company this cost is shifted to you
Rare that UC would choose to license to a company that you objected to working with- we want our interests to be aligned!
![Page 13: A Basic Primer on Intellectual Property Kathryn Atchison, DDS, MPH Vice Provost, Intellectual Property and Industry Relations Associate Vice Chancellor](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082710/56649e355503460f94b24337/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What Types of Problems Arise During the Oversight of IP?
Disagreement over inventorship or authorship Failure to disclose IP to UC and loss to company which
can then deny faculty to continue to work on it Failure to report patent to federal sponsor, which has
rights to use the invention Conflict of interest in selecting appropriate licensee Infringe on another’s patent rights Use another’s copyrighted material in course or for
pleasure (Fair Use)
![Page 14: A Basic Primer on Intellectual Property Kathryn Atchison, DDS, MPH Vice Provost, Intellectual Property and Industry Relations Associate Vice Chancellor](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082710/56649e355503460f94b24337/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Communication is Essential
Students should discuss authorship/ inventorship as early as possible with faculty mentor
Appropriate use of university materials and resources to avoid business use of State property
Prevent inadvertent public disclosure Keep public’s best interests in mind
![Page 15: A Basic Primer on Intellectual Property Kathryn Atchison, DDS, MPH Vice Provost, Intellectual Property and Industry Relations Associate Vice Chancellor](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082710/56649e355503460f94b24337/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Ownership of Data Data include any information obtained during the
process of research, no matter in what form it is produced, or in what form it is stored.
Medical information - belongs to the research participant and must be protected for privacy
Grants–University owns it and shares with PI Drug studies with the sponsor and sometimes the
university Trainees own no data, not even what they worked on
![Page 16: A Basic Primer on Intellectual Property Kathryn Atchison, DDS, MPH Vice Provost, Intellectual Property and Industry Relations Associate Vice Chancellor](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082710/56649e355503460f94b24337/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Ethical problems with ownership of science Broad Gene patents
Allowing a company to tie up diagnosis preventing others from developing a new diagnostic test
Broad Stem Cell patentsAllowing a company to tie up diagnosis preventing others from developing new treatments
Conflicts of Interest - Money
![Page 17: A Basic Primer on Intellectual Property Kathryn Atchison, DDS, MPH Vice Provost, Intellectual Property and Industry Relations Associate Vice Chancellor](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082710/56649e355503460f94b24337/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
A case in point…..Imagine a faculty member who develops IP, licenses it from the university to her newco; sponsors research in a junior colleagues’ lab who is doing research in the area; decides she wishes to license that IP too, but doesn’t think the junior colleague has quite ‘fulfilled the terms of the contract’; reprimands the colleague for not finishing the research…. And arguing that she should be an inventor of the technology because she proposed the research
Are there ethical issues?
