IP Basics for Software Innovations
This free webinar will provide an introduction to the fundamentals of intellectual property that can be applied to software innovations. The course includes an overview of patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets. Some basic computing and software terms will also be discussed.
Choosing the Right Open Source License for Your Software
How does a licensing professional navigate the multitude of available open-source licenses to select the appropriate license? Learn how to choose the right open source license for your software and have your questions answered by this webinar.
Artificial Intelligence and Intellectual Property
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is employed in everything from computer-generated imagery (CGI) to medical diagnoses to 3D printing. However, laws have not kept up with AI innovations. The patent laws of most countries (including the U.S.) define an “inventor” as a person, i.e., a human being. This presentation will define AI and examine questions that will help suggest best practices for using AI and protecting AI-related intellectual property.
The What, How, Dos, and Don’ts of Licensing Data
This session will provide an overview of the sources of data generated by a university that can be translated into a valuable asset for licensing, either alone or in conjunction with a patent or copyright license, including ways to assess the value of the data and how that value can be captured in a license agreement. The webinar will cover a wide range of issues to consider when licensing data such as protected health information/personally identifiable information (PHI/PII), ownership, selling data, conflict of interest, confidentiality, and exclusivity.
AI and Precision Medicine: IP and Licensing Opportunities
Increasingly, artificial intelligence (AI) is being applied in the medical field. From disease-specific diagnostics to patient-precise surgery and therapeutics, the AI architecture employs analytical software and patient-based training data. In this session, we’ll discuss how universities, especially those affiliated with a medical school or research hospital, may be uniquely suited to license training data separately from analytical software.
Strategies and Programs for De-Risking Medical Device Commercialization
Bringing a new medical device to market can be an expensive and time-consuming process fraught with risk. This webinar will provide you with a better understanding of the process and challenges of commercializing medical device technologies. We will address, among other topics, the general regulatory processes, market risks, and technology risks.
Post-Ariosa, the district courts, and the Federal Circuit have increasingly used this decision to justify the application of the Mayo/Alice rule to deny the patentability of claims directed to diagnostic methods and products of nature. The court has reiterated that the “inventive concept” required by the Mayo/Alice Rule cannot be provided by recognition of the importance of a natural correlation, even while recognizing that the rule renders many important advances in diagnostic medicine patent-ineligible. While the Patent Office continues to allow a method of treatment claims, it may not be long before the Federal Circuit takes another look at Myriad and bans these claims as well.
Drug Repurposing from a University Perspective
Repurposed drugs are generally approved faster, are awarded market approval at a rate three times higher than new drug applications, and at half the cost associated with new drug applications. Academic researchers have successfully begun integrating repurposing into their grant applications from both federal and private donors. In this webinar, we will discuss these themes as well as what, from a university perspective, can lead to a successful program in licensing repurposed drug assets.
Insights into Plant Variety Protection and Variety
Join this webinar and learn the fundamentals of U.S. intellectual property protection for plants by comparing and contrasting plant variety protection (PVP), versus utility patents and the main criteria for obtaining PVP.
University Plant Commercial: IP, Deals and the USDA
This practical webinar covers: The basics of plant patents, plant-related utility patents, plant variety protection, and foreign plant breeder’s rights, including deposits and export of plants for DUS testing. Trademark issues will also be discussed.
Whether you are involved in license maintenance, finance, or patent administration, you need to understand license agreements to effectively do your job. This session will include an introduction to license agreements by describing the various sections of a typical license agreement and providing an explanation of the importance of the various terms.
Understanding Equity Agreements
During the session, we will review the terms of Stock Purchase Agreements, Investor Rights Agreements, and other agreements common to these types of transactions. We will also address specific topics such as participating preferred equity, dividends, tag along and drag along rights, etc.
This webinar will address those circumstances under which joint ownership of intellectual property typically arises between universities, the effect of this joint ownership, and the structure and terms of joint ownership agreements.
Intro to IIAs, MTAs and CDs from the University Perspective
This webinar will address the fundamentals of inter-institutional agreements (IIs), material transfer agreements (MTAs) and confidentiality agreements (CDAs) from the university perspective.
Using US Seed Fund to Expand University Innovation Ecosystem
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and National Institutes of Health (NIH) share how America’s Seed Fund – the Small Business Innovation Research/ Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR) programs – enables the transition of university-based research.

Introduction to SBIR/STTR
SBIR One-on-One Grant-Writing Assistance
Applicant Eligibility
The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs are some of the largest sources of early-stage capital for innovative small companies in the United States. Every year federal SBIR/STTR programs from 11 agencies provide $4 billion in non-dilutive grant and contract funding to qualified U.S.-owned and operated small businesses with less than 500 employees to accelerate research to the commercialization stage. SBIR/STTR grants are designed to develop research into products and services with global impact.
SBIR/STTR grants enable the transfer of technology from universities and support the development of a product for commercialization. Funds are always awarded directly to the small business but a percentage of the funds can be subcontracted to the university for collaborative work. Award amounts vary by agency, but Phase I awards can provide about $250,000 for feasibility and proof of concept work and Phase II awards can provide over $1.5 million for translation and prototype development. These funds are not a loan, don’t have to be repaid nor require sharing of equity in the small business. In addition, awardees also have access to additional commercialization resources from the agencies.
Winning an SBIR/STTR award requires an understanding of the different types of SBIR and STTR funding available, the specific federal agency’s goals, timelines and requirements, the important components of the proposal, how to avoid pitfalls and if a SBIR/STTR is right for you.
Visit the UF Innovate website often to find upcoming training opportunities to learn about SBIR/STTRs and how to develop competitive proposals, enroll in programs to help develop a commercialization plan, and to learn about options for one-on-one SBIR/STTR proposal development assistance for UF entrepreneurs. You can also contact UF Innovate I Pathways at ufinnovatepathways@research.ufl.edu.
A brief summary of the critical differences between SBIR and STTR grants and the basic eligibility requirements for SBIR/STTR funding are listed in the below table.
SBIR | STTR | |
Principal Investigator (PI) | PI must be primarily employed (>50%) with the small business at the time of award and for the term of the award | PI may be employed either at the university or the small business but must put in at least 10% effort on the project |
Grant Submission/funds awarded | Grants are submitted by the small business and funds are awarded to the small business | Grants are submitted by the small business and funds are awarded to the small business |
Work Requirement/Subcontracting |
Small business MAY outsource to a third party a maximum of: 33% of funds (Phase I) 50% of funds (Phase II) |
Small business MUST subcontract a minimum of 30% (maximum of 60%) of funds to research institution/university under a subcontract agreement executed by the Office of Sponsored Programs. Small business minimum work requirement is 40% |
Partnering Requirement | Permits partnering but not required | Requires a non-profit research institution/university partner |
Facilities | Small business must have company controlled facilities suitable to do work proposed at time of award | Small business must have company controlled facilities suitable to do work proposed at time of award |
Throughout the year, SBIR/STTR training is offered by the funding agencies as well as by UF Innovate through its partnership with BBC Entrepreneurial Training and Consulting (BBCetc). Check the UF Innovate calendar for upcoming virtual training sessions. Additional on demand training can be accessed by visiting the BBCetc website: https://bbcetc.com/
Several options for grant writing guidance are available.
In order to be eligible for consideration for this competitive one-on-one proposal development support, applicants should meet the below requirements and contact UF Innovate Pathways if you have questions ufinnovatepathways@research.ufl.edu.
Additional SBIR/STTR grant writing support is available for women and underrepresented minorities for UF and non-UF startups through the UF Innovate, Collaboratory for Inclusive Entrepreneurship. Eligibility for UF start-ups are the same as what is mentioned above and all UF start-up applicants should follow the guidelines above and contact UF Innovate Pathways at ufinnovatepathways@research.ufl.edu
Non-UF startups should directly contact the Director of the Collaboratory of Inclusive Entrepreneurship, Eugene Wanda at: weugene@ufl.edu
