Marc Rioult, MIT Technology Licensing Officer

MIT TLO

Le MIT est une universite tres active en development et en commercialisation de technologie: environs 1,000 enseignants et chefs de labos, 500 nouvelles inventions par an, 350 demandes de brevets, 120 licenses ou transactions similaires, 20-25 spin-offs, et $80-90 millions de revenus generes par une organisation de 30 personnes seulement. Parmi plusieurs facteurs contribuants, la recherche scientifique au MIT qui invite souvent les applications pratiques en plus de la recherche fondamentale, et un climat d’entrepreneuriat unique et bien etabli parmi tous les elements du MIT -etudiants, enseignants et chefs de labos, administration, etc.- contribuent a cette situation. Nous discuterons du travail du Technology Licensing Office du MIT en general, ainsi que de quelques cas illustrant certains aspects de la commercialisation de technologie creee au sein d’une universite aux U.S.
