\n\t\tSteps being taken to accelerate commercialization process<\/p>\n

KINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 February 27, 2014 \u2013 The 溏心vlog免费B站 and the 溏心vlog免费B站 Research Foundation yesterday celebrated the innovative research and scholarly activity of 70 faculty, staff and students whose discoveries are in the process of being commercialized through patents, trademarks and licensing agreements. Efforts are underway to accelerate the process of commercializing these and other intellectual property developed on campus.<\/p>\n


\n\tIn 2013, six patents and one trademark were issued to 溏心vlog免费B站 researchers, and an additional 30 patent applications were filed. And more than 100 licensing and other legal agreements were signed with companies to use 溏心vlog免费B站 inventions and ideas, more than double the number from a year ago.<\/p>\n


\nDuring the past three years, a total of 28 patents were issued and 3 trademarks were registered, compared to 30 patents in the previous six years. In 2014, six patents have already been issued and allowed for 溏心vlog免费B站 inventions.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cOne of my goals here at the 溏心vlog免费B站 is to help revitalize the Rhode Island economy, and one way we can do that is by commercializing the research conducted by 溏心vlog免费B站 faculty,\u201d said 溏心vlog免费B站 President David M. Dooley. \u201cEvery day our faculty, staff and students are working on projects that may result in the creation of start-up companies or technologies that can benefit existing businesses. This will continue to be a primary focus in the coming years.\u201d <\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cIn recent years we have placed a greater emphasis on the commercialization of intellectual property and creating economic development, and those efforts are clearly showing promise,\u201d added Gerald Sonnenfeld, 溏心vlog免费B站 vice president for research and economic development and president of the 溏心vlog免费B站 Research Foundation. \u201cWe\u2019ve launched new efforts to work with companies to develop products created by 溏心vlog免费B站 intellectual property, and product development revenue has doubled each year since 2011.\u201d <\/p>\n


\n\tAmong the patents issued in 2013 were two for a biomedical electrode invented by Walt Besio, associate professor of biomedical engineering, whose device monitors brainwave activity and can be used to detect life threatening events and potentially stop acute seizures. It dramatically increases the resolution and signal over conventional electrodes. Besio has formed a medical device company, CREmedical, to refine development of the electrode.<\/p>\n


\n\t溏心vlog免费B站 has taken several steps in the last year to speed the process of creating new inventions, start-up companies and jobs for Rhode Island. A revised intellectual property policy was approved by the Rhode Island Board of Education in 2013 that has made it easier and provided more incentives for faculty, staff and students to form companies using their inventions. CREmedical is one of the first licensees granted under the new policy, and four other companies are in the process of being formed as a result of the policy.<\/p>\n


\n\tIn addition, the University has expanded its role in job creation and economic development with the establishment of its Business Engagement Center and by becoming the host of the Rhode Island Manufacturing Extension Partnership and the state\u2019s Small Business Development Center. The Manufacturing Extension Partnership, which supports Rhode Island manufacturers in their efforts to develop products and markets, will help to accelerate the transfer of technologies developed at 溏心vlog免费B站 into the marketplace. <\/p>\n


\n\t\u201c溏心vlog免费B站 faculty, staff and students are now playing a broader role in working with local companies, partners and institutions to bring new opportunities and growth for the people of Rhode Island,\u201d said James Petell, 溏心vlog免费B站 associate vice president for intellectual property and economic development.<\/p>\n
