Why not better already?SUNY has been in an unvirtuous cycle
Less revenue
Fewer patentable inventions
Fewer disclosures/inventions
Inadequate funding
Fewer patents filed
Big gap between lab & mkt
Academically research focus
Fewer licenses
![Page 15: Tech Transfer model at SUNY](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547b6d53b47959a4098b4e35/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Fewer disclosures = fewer patentable inventions on which to file patents
Unvirtuous Cycle
Less revenue
Fewer patentable inventions
Fewer disclosures/inventions
Inadequate funding
Fewer patents filed
Big gap between lab & mkt
Academically research focus
Fewer licenses

• Fewer disclosures, fewer licenses, and less revenue = less funding– No reason to increase funding for TTOs

• Failure to patent and pursue disclosed inventions discourages innovators– Discouraged innovators are less interested in
commercialization, and file fewer disclosures

SUNY IS NOT ALONE
![Page 23: Tech Transfer model at SUNY](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547b6d53b47959a4098b4e35/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• 60% of TTOs earned less than $3M• More than 50% of TTOs bring in less
money than their operating costs• Only 16% of TTOs are self-sustaining
Most University TTOs Do Poorly
SUNY, $13M
Stanford, $65M

What is SUNY doing to improve?
Creating a virtuous cycle• More disclosures• More patents (more money)• More licenses• More revenue

Creating a Virtuous Cycle• Generating more invention disclosures–More TTO outreach and involvement– Proactive customer service– Creating structured academic research
collaboration opportunities

Academic Collaborations• SUNY REACH– 5 SUNY medical campuses– Attracted over $8M in grant funding in 2 yrs– Cancer, infectious diseases, CNS, diabetes/cardiac
• Hill Collaboration– Syracuse U., ESF, Upstate, ~$20k per project
• IIBMST– Technion, Upstate, National Cheng Kung University

Creating a Virtuous Cycle• Changing to greater industrial focus– ‘Friendly’ negotiation strategy for research
contracts– Hiring VP of Industry Relations – Building opportunities for industrial
collaborations

Creating a Virtuous Cycle• Filing the invention pipeline– Generating more invention disclosures• More TTO outreach and involvement• Proactive customer service
– Filing more patents• Reducing patent costs
– In-house patent agents (UB)– Using patent attorney as editor not writer
• Increasing budget for patenting (parity with avg)• Commercially driven patent strategy

Why file more patents?

• More inventions to license• Become better place to technology
shop• Increasing probability of big winner

Why file more patents?• More inventions to license• Become better place to technology
shop• Increasing probability of big winner–Most successful offices are successful
because of one or several big winners– Very successful licenses generate ‘buzz’
• Picking winners is hard, maybe impossible

Story told by former Amershamemployee: In the mid 1980s, Cetus Corp. offered to sell PCR patent portfolio to Amersham for $20,000. Amershamdeclined, their evaluating scientists saying, “This is very interesting, but who really needs millions of copies of DNA?”
Three years later Cetus sold the patents to Roche for $300 million.
