With years of experience and a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by universities, research centers, and other Technology Transfer Offices (TTOs), McCoy Russell offers tailored solutions designed to ensure the successful transfer of innovative technologies from the lab to the marketplace. The firm continues its support and active role in the Technology Transfer community by supporting its TTO clients, volunteering with AUTM, participating in their events, and discussing with other TTO professionals their experience in the patent and trademark system.
McCoy Russell’s experience and strategic approach consider the full technology life cycle, from the evaluation stage to portfolio creation and development to licensing and post-grant proceedings.
At the forefront of thought leadership, McCoy Russell also assists technology transfer offices by providing training programs for students, faculty, and staff to improve the efficiency and quality of patent filings. In addition to educational programs, we have developed proprietary software allowing us to perform detailed landscape searches to identify potential collaborators and licensing partners, and to highlight insights into the marketplace and commercial viability of their research (https://www.mccrus.com/2021/12/07/focusing-on-technology-innovation/).
While technology transfer work requires expertise in navigating complex rules and regulations, we take special care to ensure regulatory compliance as to government-funded work and work subject to government contracts. Requirements of the Bayh-Dole Act are front and center to effectively advise technology transfer offices.
