Stanford University’s Office of Technology Licensing (OTL) is one of the country’s most active offices in the field of technology transfer from university to industry. Their staff, most of whom are professionals engaged directly in licensing, manages over 2,500 active dockets.

Stanford’s OTL licensing professionals evaluate technologies that are disclosed to OTL and then develop a licensing strategy for the particular technology. Each associate is responsible for a portfolio of dockets from “cradle to grave.” The associates each have an area of technical expertise in life sciences, physical sciences or both.

The mission of Stanford University’s OTL is to promote the transfer of Stanford technology for society’s use and benefit while generating unrestricted income to support research and education.

This video of the panel discussion on America’s Innovation Crisis is the first public release of live, unedited conference proceedings in the three-year history of the IT Security Entrepreneurs Forum (ITSEF). ITSEF III was held at Stanford University on March 18, 2009. Since 2007, ITSEF has focused on advancing innovation in security technologies through public-private partnerships by developing a community of interest between Washington and Silicon Valley. ITSEF is the only conference of its kind designed to “bridge the gap” between the Federal Government, system integrators, venture capitalists, and academic research communities. Pascal Levensohn, Founder and Managing Partner of Levensohn Venture Partners, moderates the panel, with panelists Dr. Curtis Carlson, President and CEO of SRI International, Dr. Gururaj “Desh” Deshpande, Chairman Sparta Group, LLC and Ms. Lesa Mitchell, VP Advancing Innovation, Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation.

What does being good at design and being able to build a community have in common? Plenty says CEO of HiveLive, John Kembel. Also a consulting associate professor of the Institute of Design at Stanford, Kembel talks to Marketing Voices about how the process of doing good design has similarities to the process of building a good community. The brainstorming and iterative thinking is similar in both professions and empathy for the customer is a solid need as well says Kembel.

Mehran Sahami is the associate chairman of undergraduate education. What does that mean? He runs probably the most important computer science undergraduate department in the world. This is the department that gave birth to Google, after all (and a bunch of other companies). This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance for me to sit down and learn about the latest in computer education trends and what’s happening inside Stanford University’s computer science department.

Mike Montemerlo is the artificial intelligence guy on Stanford University’s DARPA challenge team. Basically, they are building a robotic car that’ll be able to negotiate a course without humans being involved. He also thinks about the act of driving in a much different way than you or I do. This is a fascinating discussion where he talks about the car, the sensors used, the algorithms he’s developing, and the approach he’s using to get a car through an intersection at the same time as another robotic car is there.

VC are investing more money than ever before. But is it a good time to investment? There is a dearth of good exit strategies. The IPO market is still moribund and there are fewer large companies that are interested in acquiring startups. Paul Deninger, vice chairman at Jefferies & Company spelled out the problems VCs face at the recent Stanford Summit.

Scott Klemmer is an assistant professor in the computer science department at Stanford University. We spend an hour talking about a variety of topics. Modern software development trends that Scott is seeing from companies like Google and Yahoo (both of which started at Stanford). Mobile development. What his students are working on. What the future of Stanford’s computer science department holds and much more.
