Other Web sites promoting technology transfer are available throughout the world. For example, the Technion Reseach and Development Home Page supplies information about patented inventions available for commercialization from the Israel Institute of Technology. BioResearch Ireland uses its BioResearch Ireland Home Page to advance its goal of commercializing biotechnology research of Irish universities and research institutions. The Scottish Biotechnology Group Site informs about activities of its members. Development Corp. Home Page provides information about technology available for licensing, as well as a directory of researchers in 81 Japanese research institutions.
Several organizations furnish helpful information on technology transfer.
At this time, the AUTM Web site presents the most thorough set of information, including samples of institutional policies on such diverse matters as animal care, conflict of interest, publication and scientific misconduct. AUTM also provides sample agreements on biological material transfer, nondisclosure, sponsored research and invention disclosure, as well as examples of contracts and example clauses. Finally, AUTM supplies numerous links to lists of available technology, university technology transfer offices, resources on a wide range of topics including intellectual property protection, administrative law, legislation, marketing and finance, as well as a search engine for available technologies originating from universities, organizations, and government agencies. The Association of Federal Technology Transfer Executives Home Page also supports technology transfer by supplying links to technology transfer resources and information on legislation related to technology transfer. The Technology Transfer Section of the World Wide Web Virtual Library is maintained by the National Technology Transfer Center, and it also is an excellent resource for technology transfer links.
