This course teaches the process of bringing biomedical discoveries to market. Students learn about innovation and invention processes, how to identify opportunities and assess when ideas are inventions, the steps required to bring the product to market (including intellectual property protection and regulatory processes), and strategies to license early-stage inventions to third parties for further development. Students work in small teams on early-stage invention projects that are patented or patent pending, sourced by the instructor from university and government technology transfer offices. Students will analyze the feasibility of commercializing the invention so that it can be licensed to a third party that can pursue entrepreneurial funding and development. Students must complete at least one semester at Carey Business School prior to enrolling in this course.
