At Hutchison, we recognize the vital role that universities play in developing technologies that fuel entrepreneurship, innovation and economic growth. Our experienced attorneys strive to help these organizations transform novel, innovative technologies into commercially successful companies. We work with many of the leading universities, providing counsel to faculty members, technology transfer professionals, students and other potential entrepreneurs. Our attorneys help with legal strategies for technology commercialization, and also provide guidance on university licensing and material transfer, R&D and joint development agreements.
Additionally, we regularly help universities develop and launch new companies based on university-owned intellectual property. These businesses come from a broad range of sectors, including advanced materials, biotechnology, drug discovery, microelectronics and software (download our University Spinout Founder's Handbook).
