2009 FEDERAL LABORATORY CONSORTIUM
MID-ATLANTIC REGION ANNUAL MEETING |
|
This year's Federal Laboratory
Consortium Mid-Atlantic Region annual
conference provided a range of
opportunities to learn how to access and
benefit from federal laboratory
expertise, intellectual property and
physical assets. The agenda included
sessions on academic/government
collaboration, motivating innovation,
unique ways to accomplish technology
transfer, the marketplace for
inventions, the role of inventors in
moving toward commercialization, the
“human element,” ways to conquer the FDA
approval process, and more. We are
particularly pleased that TEDCO and SAIC
were sponsors of this meeting.
An inspirational keynote address was
provided by Anousheh Ansari, co-founder
and chairman, Prodea Systems and first
female private space explorer. On
September 18, 2006, Ansari
captured headlines around the world as
the first female private space explorer.
She also earned a place in history as
the fourth private explorer to visit
space and the first astronaut of Iranian
descent. Back on Earth, as a successful
serial entrepreneur, Anousheh returned
to her job as co-founder and chairman of
her latest technology company, Prodea
Systems, focused on simplifying the
digital home experience.
Further inspiration came from the “Human
Element” session, where the bottom line
benefit of federal science and
technology transfer was illustrated by
its direct impact on individuals. Thanks
to the session presenters.

FEDERAL LABORATORY CONSORTIUM
MID-ATLANTIC REGION ANNUAL MEETING |
|
On September 19-21, 2006, over 55
speakers convened in Cumberland,
Maryland to reveal new initiatives and
disclose advanced methods to
transfer technology, manage
intellectual property, move new ideas
into the marketplace and accelerate
implementation of advanced technology by
partnering across agency, institutional
and international boundaries.
Professionals from academia, industry
and economic development groups attended
and networked with government laboratory
representatives at this meeting.
As the world’s knowledge base grows, unprecedented
change impacts everything, and global
competition intensifies, it is now more
important to accelerate innovation and
translate ideas into actual use faster.
The field of technology transfer is
crucial to this process as it involves
1) the application of enabling
agreements, 2) identification of the
applicable pathways between laboratory
and end-user, and 3) leveraging partnerships
among scientists, entrepreneurs, venture
financing, incubators, developers and
other vendors, stakeholders and
consumers.
The varied agenda, took examples, lessons-learned and
best practices that relate to the
interests of a variety of practitioners,
including technology transfer scouts,
lawyers involved in licensing or other
intellectual property issues, bioscience
developers, military hardware
developers, technology marketers or
investors in advanced technology. |

About 100
government, university and industry experts met
in Cumberland, Maryland, on September 14-16, 2004,
to share their knowledge of processes and
experiences in licensing, transferring and
commercializing technology. Sessions included
the roles of intermediaries, foreign licensing,

multiple presentations from NIH and others from
USDA, Army, Navy, DOC, NSA, NASA, DOE, DTIC, OSD,
University of West Virginia, University of
Buffalo, Gallaudet University, University of
Pittsburgh, Drexel University and more.
The Mid-Atlantic Region of the
Federal Laboratory Consortium sponsored the
event. The Federal Laboratory Consortium
is comprised of the technology transfer offices
of all of the federal laboratories throughout
the country while its Mid-Atlantic Region
focuses on the 70 federal laboratories in DC,
DE, MD, PA, VA and WV.
“This event was one of the best
learning and networking experiences for
professional technology transfer and licensing
agents that the Region has ever held,” said Dr.
Scott Deiter, FLC Regional Coordinator and
technology transfer specialist for the Indian
Head Division of the Naval Surface Warfare
Center. “The ‘Hot Technologies’ contest
added some fun and everyone is now looking
forward to participating in next year’s events.”

organization presented five of its annual awards
for Excellence in Technology Transfer and one
each of its Regional Laboratory, Appreciation
and Industry awards. In addition, Dr.
Charles Schlagel from the Naval Medical Research
Center received the 2004 DOD George Linsteadt
Technology Transfer Achievement Award. Dr.
Schlagel was selected for his innovative,
proactive approach in licensing the technology
for The Hearing Pill™ to American BioHealth
Group. The Hearing Pill can prevent or
