The document summarizes the results of Peer To Patent Pilot 2, which tested expanding the program. Pilot 2 reviewed over 300 applications over more challenges than Pilot 1, including more technologies. It engaged over 150 student reviewers and over 600 total reviewers. Reviewer participation increased over Pilot 1. The prior art found was cited in some office actions, supporting the goal of improving patent quality and examination. Peer To Patent Pilot 2 proved the model could handle more applications and participants across more areas than the initial pilot.
Essential things that should always be in your carEason Chan

A driver can bail out of a lot of sticky situations if he plans ahead. More often than not, things go south on you when you think nothing could go wrong. So it pays to hope for the best and plan for the worst, especially on the road. Here are some things that should always be kept in your car for all those just in case moments.
Deloitteâs ninth annual back-to-school survey reveals the latest trends likely to impact spending in the 2016 school season. With school supplies, clothing, and backpacks at the top the list, find out when and where will consumers shop, how much they will spend and on what products, how digital technologies will influence shopping behavior, and more. http://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/pages/consumer-business/articles/back-to-school-survey.html
What happens when the digital tools and platforms we make and use for communication and entertainment are hijacked for terrorism, violence against the vulnerable and nefarious transactions? What role do designers and developers play? Are we complicit as creators of these technologies and products? Should we police them or fight back? As Portfolio Lead for Northern Lab, Northern Trust's internal innovation startup focused on client and partner experience, Antonio will share a mix of provocative scenarios torn from today's headlines and compelling stories where activism and technology facilitated peaceâand war.
As a call-to-action for designers and developers to engage in projects capable of transformational change, he'll explore the question: How might technology foster new experiences to better accelerate social activism and make the world a smarter, safer place?
Researchers play a crucial role within the process of technology transfer and awards are a good way to acknowledge their activity and reward some of them accordingly. Some technology transfer offices have set up award ceremonies, which combine both financial and academic incentives. Created in 2000, the Technology Transfer Award of the University Paris-Sud 11 consists in a financial prize for researchers working on projects with outstanding transfer potential. After eight editions, results are clearly positive and the initiative contributed to raise awareness on technology transfer in the researcherâs community.

The propensity and speed of technology licensing: at LUISS Guido Carli Univer...Ian McCarthy
Â
Licensing speed: There has been much research interest in the speed of innovation, although few consistent findings have emerged. In this study, we unpack the innovation process and focus on the commercialization stage to examine two questions: Which licensor and patent characteristics determine the speed of licensing? How does the speed of licensing impact the royalties and lumpsum payments to licensors? We addressed these questions by proposing that licensing speed is influenced by variables for licensor prominence (size and experience), licensor knowledge structuration (technological depth, technological breadth and experience), and patent appeal (forward citations, scope and complexity). We predict and find that these variables work to increase the size, complexity and duration of the licensing-out task, while also allowing licensors to take their time to review, negotiate and select agreements with higher royalty rates. These findings are counter to arguments for a fast-paced innovation strategy, as it suggests that for the commercialization stage of the innovation process the relationship between licensing speed and licensor royalty
rates rewards a âless haste, greater payoff approach.
II-SDV 2016 Irene Kitsara - Patent Landscape Reports and Other WIPO Activitie...Dr. Haxel Consult
Â
WIPO started work in the area of patent analytics in 2010 with a Development Agenda project on âDeveloping Tools for Access to Patent Informationâ which resulted in the production of a series of Patent Landscape Reports (WIPOâs patent landscape reports can be found here). These reports, prepared in cooperation with various UN Agencies, non-governmental organizations, research institutes and national IP Offices, analyze patent activity in various topics in the areas of public health, food and agriculture, environment and energy, and disabilities. The key findings are often summarized in an infographic.
In 2013 WIPO started working also on awareness raising and capacity building in the area of patent analytics. Apart from various workshops organized on this topic, WIPO published in September 2015 the âGuidelines for Preparing Patent Landscape Reportsâ. The Guidelines describe the objectives and motivations for preparing Patent Landscape Reports (PLR) and other types of patent analysis, the tasks associated with patent analytics, as well as the stages in the preparation of PLRs, providing also some insights from WIPOâs experience in the area.
Since 2015 WIPO is exploring open source tools for patent analytics purposes in the framework of the preparation of a Manual on Open Source Tools for Patent Analytics. Open source tools are typically used by other disciplines, usually business/data analysts, statisticians, IT professionals and scientists, rather than with regard to patent data. Nevertheless, in recent years they started emerging as an alternative and/or a complement to ready-to-use tools, providing flexibility and adaptability in different analysis types. In view of the necessary programming related to this type of tools, WIPO developed step-by-step instructions in the Manual with example datasets, and will provide capacity building activities with training on patent analytics for Technology and Innovation Technology Support Centers (TISCs) around the world (for more information on the TISC program please visit www.wipo.int/tisc) .
