What is Technology Transfer?
“Technology transfer is the process by which a developer of technology (e.g. university, research
institution or company) makes its technology available to a commercial partner that will exploit
the technology.”*
*Based on WIPO definition

Tech-Transfer Is Not Easy!
• Xerox Palo Alto Research Centre (PARC)
• Founded 1970 on Stanford University campus
• Xerox invested $150m during first 14 years
• Developed 1st PC, mouse, laser printing & LAN
• Tech-transfer barriers:– Company only in the business of office copiers– No effective mechanisms to transfer to manufacturing and marketing– Culture clash between Xerox PARC and Xerox headquarters
• “Only” laser printing was commercialised
