Your university spends untold dollars and hours on negotiating terms and processing hundreds-maybe even thousands of MTAs every year. And since MTAs can have serious ramifications in terms of rights to resulting inventions, for future licensing agreements and for publication rights, it’s not a process you should be taking lightly or rushing through.
That’s why we’ve created Best Practices in Material Transfer Agreement Management. This highly-rated distance learning collection includes two practical programs that deliver specific strategies to help you manage your agreements, your time, and your IP.
You get the On-Demand Video, Transcript, and original program materials – and receive unlimited access for you, your staff and faculty. You can use this valuable collection over and over whenever the need arises, and share it freely throughout your organization!
Here are more details on the two-program collection:
Material Transfer Agreement Management: Negotiation Strategies to Strengthen Legal Protection and Gain Efficiency. The way MTAs are negotiated and managed can have a huge impact on your organization’s productivity, since the volume and processing time can combine to overwhelm an already overworked staff. That’s why Technology Transfer Tactics’ Distance Learning Division has teamed up with two experts from the University of Iowa who have successfully addressed the MTA challenge, and are ready to share their strategies with you.
Managing Material Transfer Agreements: Key Practices for Saving Time and Money. Vanderbilt University’s TTO’s home-grown MTAShare automated management system, enables an extremely streamlined process for the management of MTAs.
