Patent protection is an important first step in safeguarding new inventions and technologies prior to further development and commercialization. It can be difficult for the non-expert to judge what is potentially patentable, and to understand the process and timelines of securing protection globally. This book provides guidance to those seeking to improve their understanding of the patent system and work constructively with patent attorneys to optimize a patent portfolio. The book is aimed in particular at patent managers in the technology transfer offices of universities and research institutions, but will be useful also to those in industry IP departments looking for practical advice and instruction on patent issues. Reviewed by IPKat blog in June 2017: "Patents for Technology Transfer is a useful book for TTOs managers working at universities and research institutes.
