Technology Transfer: Making the Most of Your Intellectual Property

Book Description

Scientists in the laboratory often fail to take advantage of the commercial exploitation of their research. Technology Transfer is a careful account of how to start the process of commercialization of technology, and describes in detail the difficulties, and amount of time needed, to carry the process through to a successful conclusion. This book provides a much needed step-by-step guide to the commercialization of research. It addresses three major themes: how to protect your intellectual property; how to develop it commercially via licensing and business "start up"; and how to finance and manage your new company. This book is essential reading for any research scientist whose work has commercial applications.

A perfect guide to success in sales.......2006-09-15

Mike Swedenberg's book is the best thing you can read and follow through with if you intend to be in sales or if you are presently in sales. It is specific in many details and a perfect guide to success in sales. Based on his vast experience in sales for companies in a variety of industries, Mike 'talks plainly' and virtually shows every type of approach to prospects and explains how to avoid the many pitfalls that cause others to not 'make it' in sales. It is by far the best book on the subject. Sam Chinkes, Sound Advertising, Las Vegas, Nevada

Title Was A Turnoff But The Book Was Great, November 20, 1999.......2005-07-09

Books that are written by people that have actually done what they write about are the best ones. This book certainly is in that catergory.

MLM gets a bad rap, but it's basically sales. We all need to sell. I don't care if you're an artist. If no one buys your art, you're a starving artist.Yhis book teaches some good, solid sales techniques.

Dave Roller has built MLM organizations that earn him in excess of $100,000 per year. Pages 109-113 explain Dave's "Farm System" of prospecting that is truly amazing. If you simply follow this one technique, it appears your organization would explode.

The rest of the book is solid, but the "Farm System" method of prospecting would be worth the price of this book alone. The day that it works for you will be a day that you will want to duplicate again and again.

Thanks Dave.

Can you say pyramid?.......2000-06-02

Ever wonder why the people that bought this book also bought "The pre-Paid Legal Story" and the Auction offers "Are you paying too much for an Attorney"?

These are the survivors. If you do not buy this book you will be the one buying the farm, instead of being the farmer.

It is missing the Appendix on how to move to the Caribbean one step ahead of the dropouts.

Book Description

Most investors want to earn high yields with reduced risk. Mortgage pools offer an excellent opportunity to diversify your portfolio and increase your investment yield.

It always amazes me how little investors really know about the company in which they are investing. I have given dozens of seminars and met with hundreds of investors, and maybe one out of ten asks the smart questions that let them make a sound investment decision.

This book unravels the mystery of mortgage pools and their underlying assets. It was written to help investors intimately understand mortgage pools and how to conduct the necessary research to determine which investments are right for them.

Obtaining higher yields takes work, but with thorough due diligence and a comprehensive understanding of the investment, you can achieve the yields you desire and sleep well at night too.

Sheri Harvey works for Martin Goodman.......2006-10-03

It's interesting how Mr. Goodman's book gets a 5 star review from Sheri Harvey. When you start to peel back the Res Cap onion, you will learn that Sheri Harvey is his Director of Wholesale lending at Residential Capital. Is this the kind of "honest" business practices that one would want to invest with. Anyone investing with him should begin by conducting thorough due diligence of Res Cap & Mr Goodman before investing. It could save you thousands of dollars.....

Great read. Good information. Goodman knows his stuff!.......2006-07-27

This book should be a "must read" for every loan officer, borrower and investor. Goodman lays out definitions, do's and don'ts, that everyone in the financial arena can benefit from. I highly recommend this easy-to-understand guide for anyone thinking of pursuing this type of investment.

For anyone considering investment in Mortgage Pools, this is a must read. Goodman discloses crucial elements to be considered before making an investment. His concise, no nonsense writing style makes these concepts easily understandable.

A must read for mortgage fund investors.......2006-06-22

Goodman's great style and ability to make complex concepts easy to understand put this in the winner's circle. The book is a quick read and worth it's weight in gold for anyone thinking of jumping into mortgage fund investing.

Book Description

Major changes in scientific, technological, and regulatory domains have fundamentally altered the way collected biological materials are used industrially. New technological artifacts are being created -- cell lines, cryogenically stored tissue samples, biochemical extracts, and even sequenced DNA stored on databases -- each of which contains highly sought after genetic and biochemical information. Able to be cloned, copied, synthesized and engineered, rented, downloaded, viewed, and exchanged, these bio-informational "proxies" may be transacted thousands of times in any given month or year. The result is an extremely lucrative, albeit largely invisible, resource economy in bio-information.

But who will benefit from this new trade? Many suppliers of the genetic and biochemical resources from which this information is drawn come from economically vulnerable developing countries. The Biodiversity Convention obliges signatory states to ensure that suppliers of genetic and biochemical resources receive "a just and equitable" share of the profits that accrue from the commercialization of their resources -- but it is not clear that they do. In a groundbreaking work that draws on anthropology, history, philosophy, business, and law, Bronwyn Parry links a firsthand investigation of the operation of the bioprospecting industry to a sophisticated analysis of broader economic, regulatory, and technological transformations: the rise of an information economy, global intellectual property rights and benefit-sharing regimes, and the progressive molecularization of approaches to biological research. Parry reveals how a failure to monitor this new global trade in bio-information could have potentially disastrous consequences for the suppliers of genetic and biochemical resources -- transforming the complex dynamics of collecting, as well as the politics and practice of biological resource exploitation.

Fascinating Book on a Totally New Concept.......2005-04-19

Every once in a while a book come at you totally out of the blue. This is one.

Suppose you have a plant, corn let's say. Someone then delivers to you another variety of corn that has some valuable characteristic: resistance to disease, ability to grow with less water or in a salty soil. But the new corn doesn't produce as high a yield as the corn you have. You take this new variety, isolate the gene that provides this capability and merge it with your older variety to produce a new strain that combines the good features of both.

The Biodiversity Convention obliges a signatory state to ensure that suppliers of genetic and biochemical resources receive "a just and equitable" share of the profits that accrue from the comemrcialization of their resources.

To be absolutely fair and follow the law to the limit, how much do you owe to whom? What should the collector of the variety get? The owner of the property on which it is found? The country in which it is found? And oh yes, the United States is not a signatory nation to the convention.

This fascinating book opens a wide variety of questions, and in doing so explains a lot about biodiversity that I never knew.

Book Description

The meteoric rise of Las Vegas from Mormon outpost to international entertainment center. Since Las Vegas was founded on May 15, 1905, when the Union Pacific auctioned off land around its new railroad shops, the city has grown from a ramshackle village to a sprawling metropolitan area of well over a million people.

Las Vegas: A Centennial History offers a detailed and deeply knowledgeable account of the growth of this unique city, the impact of politics and of wars, and the city's struggle to establish diversified economy. The authors' scope extends chronologically from the first Paiute people who settled around the artesian springs that gave the city its name, right up to the construction of the latest megaresort, and geographically far beyond the original township to include the several municipalities that make up the metropolitan Las Vegas area.

Las Vegas: A Centennial History celebrates the city's unparalleled growth in the brief century of its existence. It also offers fresh insight into the process of city building in the American West, where urban needs and aspirations must contend with water scarcity, isolation, erratic economies, highly diverse populations, and the rocky relationship between the need for civic order and the Western spirit of independence. Its story will engage residents and visitors alike, as well as all readers interested in the history and workings of an American city.

Book Description

The economic performance of a national economy, as shown by indicators such as the rate of unemployment and inflation, is heavily dependent on the operation of its external and internal labor markets. From this standpoint the book focuses on the functions of internal labor markets and their interaction with external labor markets, comparing those of the Japanese and Western styles. The differing mechanisms of internal labor markets are examined by a strong range of international contributors from Japan, North America and Europe.
