Technology Transfer for Entrepreneurs: A Guide to Commercializing Federal Laboratory Innovations ReviewIf you already know that the Federal government sponsors R&D, that Federal labs often collaborate with private companies and individuals, and that there are laws that govern these activities, this book is not likely to be of much value to you.
Of the book's 252 pages, 101 are verbatim recitations of public law that can easily be retrieved from the FirstGov web site. Another 25 pages contain cursory descriptions of various Federal labs that look as if they were captured directly from the home pages of the labs' web sites. Much of this information is too general, out of date, or both. For example, R&D funding information is presented at the Agency level (e.g., DOD, NASA, DOE), rather than the lab level, and, despite the book's 2003 publication date, the budget numbers are from FY98 (as I write this, the FY05 budget is being debated).
In a chapter entitled "Property Rights and Their Imperative" the authors provide an exhaustive, but essentially useless, exposition on the historical precursors of the various laws affecting current Federal R&D practices (do we really care that in the mid-80's "...Senator Dole became increasingly frustrated with continued bureaucratic resistance to Bayh-Dole..."?).
Other chapters provide freshman-level overviews of nano-technology, patent law, and, oddly enough, bibliometrics.
In sum, you can probably find more current and useful information in 15 minutes surfing the web.Technology Transfer for Entrepreneurs: A Guide to Commercializing Federal Laboratory Innovations Overview
