The Office of Technology Commercialization and Ventures (OTCV) has completed a very productive Fiscal Year 2016. We've received a total of 11 new invention disclosures for the full year, from investigators in Bioengineering, Electrical & Computer Engineering, Mechanical Enginering and Chemistry/Biochemistry, the greatest number of disclosures since FY2012. All told, we have filed 5 new patent applications in the fiscal year. Congratulations to Montgomery Charter Professor Emeritus Brian Rothschild and former student Glenn Chamberlain of SMAST for receiving U.S. Patent No. 9,367,930 on June 14, 2016, for an improved system for monitoring fish catches, the 21st patent awarded to UMass Dartmouth to date.
We continue to make progress in moving UMassD inventions to the market. We recently concluded a license agreement with Corsair Innovations LLC of Fall River, to develop the portfolio of innovative textile technologies developed by Chancellor Professor Yong Kim and his colleagues. OTCV is also helping launch a start-up company to develop the SmartCase smartphone accessory that was the winner of a Global Start-Up Competition last fall, and we are also in discussions for licenses for three other UMassD technologies. Licensing revenue has been received under 4 different license or option agreements during the fiscal year.
If you'd like to discuss your ideas for inventions or any project that may have commercial potential please contact David Glass. His schedule is posted each month here on the OTCV website.
