Reducing Barriers for                             entrepreneurs ,[object Object],Goal: Double number of successful start-ups from DOE National Labs (FY09 FY21),[object Object],Strategy: Increase the number of negotiated Option Agreements for start-ups from DOE Labs by lowering transaction costs (time & money),[object Object],2,[object Object],5/1/2011,[object Object],“When it comes to job creation, start-ups are not everything, they are the ONLY thing.”,[object Object],Carl Schramm, Kauffman Foundation,[object Object]
Pilot Program from May 2 – December 15, 2011,[object Object],Template option agreement for any DOE patent*,[object Object],$1,000 up-front fee,[object Object],12 month option,[object Object],6 month option with a 6 month no cost extension,[object Object],Portfolio of up to 3 patents for a specific technology from a single laboratory,[object Object],Deferment of patent cost for up to 2 years,[object Object],Optional VC mentoring available,[object Object],Showcased at ARPA-E Innovation Summit,[object Object],   *These are patents held by the contractors that manage DOE Laboratories.   For DOE owned patents, license agreement with similar terms will be offered.,[object Object],America’s Next Top Energy Innovator,[object Object],3,[object Object],5/1/2011,[object Object]
Fine Print   	,[object Object],Fairness of Opportunity (FOO) requirement,[object Object],For technologies that have not yet been published as available, the labs will need to ensure FOO is met  ,[object Object],US Manufacturing Preference/Requirement,[object Object],Patent cost deferment excludes ongoing foreign patent cost or out of the ordinary expenses such a interference ,[object Object], For multiple inquiries for same IP and field of use overlap: Lab will use their current best practices to select Optionee,[object Object],4,[object Object],5/1/2011,[object Object]
Process,[object Object],Browse DOE’s portfolio of technologies,[object Object],Submit business plan to appropriate lab,[object Object],Complete Option Agreement with Lab,[object Object],Starting working toward agreed upon milestones,[object Object],5,[object Object],5/1/2011,[object Object],http://techportal.eere.energy.gov/,[object Object]
FAQ,[object Object],Q1: What companies are eligible?,[object Object],A1: All unlicensed DOE IP is available for licensing to any company.  The Options terms offered by this program are limited to newly-created start-ups.,[object Object],Q2: How extensive does the business plan need to be?,[object Object],A2: It must describe the general market and business opportunity the start-up expects to address and include a set of commercialization milestones and the associated financial and personnel requirements to achieve those milestones.   A lab may be willing to allow a start-up to develop a more robust business plan during the first months of the Option, so long as a preliminary plan is submitted with requisite experience and expertise and/or a credible plan for a timely acquisition of that expertise..,[object Object],Q3: Are other government agencies also participating?,[object Object],A3: Not at this time, this is a pilot program that may be adopted at a later date by other agencies.,[object Object],6,[object Object],5/1/2011,[object Object]
FAQ (Cont’d),[object Object],Q4: Are universities eligible?,[object Object],A4: No, but they are encourage to promote the program to their students, faculty and staff, especially with respect to IP bundling.,[object Object],Q5: How will DOE handle multiple inquiries for the same technology?,[object Object],A5: The labs already have procedures in place to address multiple inquiries.  Typically the goal is to deploy the technology as widely as possible.  So, limited field of use may be considered. If there’s an overlap in interest, the competing proposals will be reviewed on their merits. ,[object Object],Q6: Is there an advantage to applying early?,[object Object],A6: Absolutely, consistent with their current business practice  proposal are reviewed and evaluated as they are received by a lab.  The labs will make Option/License decisions based on the proposals in hand.   We suggest you apply as soon as you have a solid business proposition.,[object Object],7,[object Object],5/1/2011,[object Object]
FAQ (Cont’d),[object Object],Q7: Can I obtain more than one Option?,[object Object],A7: There is currently no limit on the number of Options a start-up can obtain.   In fact, multiple Options may be useful in capturing the IP to address the needs of the start-up.  However executing multiple agreements in different technology areas is not recommended and may reflect poorly on the start-up ability to meet agreed upon milestones.,[object Object],Q8: Who can I contact if I run into any issues while applying for the program that is not being addressed by the Technology Transfer Office at the Lab?,[object Object],A8: Each DOE Laboratory has an Ombudsman for Technology Transfer that works with the Technology Transfer Coordinator at DOE Headquarters.  The contact information for the Ombudsman can be found at each laboratory website.  Please contact the Ombudsman if there are any issues in which you feel an impartial view might be helpful.,[object Object],8,[object Object],5/1/2011,[object Object]
FAQ (Cont’d),[object Object],Q9: Can the start-up work with a foreign entity?,[object Object],A9: Yes, however there are existing US Manufacturing Licensing requirements that would be part of any exclusive license.  In addition there are ITAR and Export Control obligations that any US company looking to work offshore must meet.,[object Object],Q10: Will all program participants get to present at ARPA-E?,[object Object],A10: No.  All participants in the program will compete for an opportunity to present at ARPA-E Innovation Summit.    ,[object Object],Q11: What will the ultimate license terms be?,[object Object],A11: The program only applies to Option Agreements to enable greater access to DOE technologies.  The ultimate terms will be negotiated consistent with the lab’s standard licensing practice.,[object Object],Q12: Will an Option affect my eligibility for other DOE programs?,[object Object],A12:  No.  Applying or receiving an Option will have no impact on your qualification for any other DOE opportunity.,[object Object],9,[object Object],5/1/2011,[object Object]
Thank you!,[object Object]
