Are You In or Out? An Overview of the Material Transfer Process at MIT

Emily Moscati, MTA Associate Officer

Fri Jan 9, 10:00AM-11:30AM
Room 66-160

The transfer of materials into and out of MIT is steadily increasing each year. Moreover, the providers and recipients for these materials are diversifying.

Material Transfer Agreements (MTAs) are legal contracts that ensure all parties are permitted to send and receive biological materials, chemical compounds, and other materials. MTAs protect MIT’s intellectual property and freedom to publish, and MTAs record the terms and conditions for the use of the materials.

Come and join Emily Moscati to learn about MIT's Material Transfer process. Gain a better understanding of MTAs, MIT’s procedures and policies for MTAs, and how to get your materials expeditiously.

Basics of Copyright and Software Intellectual Property
Daniel Dardani
Tues Jan 13, noon – 1:45 pm
Room 3-133

Ever wanted to pen a novel or code a video game?

Maybe you are an artist or architect?

Copyright law affects musicians, photographers, and software developers alike. As such, copyrights offer unique and fun protection for your works of authorship created while at MIT.

Join Daniel Dardani, Technology Licensing Officer and IP Coordinator of MIT’s Game Lab for an overview of Copyright law and issues, including its history, use, and relevance to the MIT Community as one form of intellectual property. Daniel will explore the nature of originality, doctrine of fair use, how copyrights function in the digital age, and more. All are welcomed.

Get a Patent on your Invention & Turn it Into a Startup!
Christopher Noble
Thur Jan 15, 12:30PM - 2:00PM

You've invented something really cool. Can you get a patent? Can you create a company around it?

Come and hear Christopher Noble, Technology Licensing Officer of the MIT Technology Licensing Office.  Learn how and when to file a patent (and if you need to); how your startup can spin the invention out from MIT and get that coveted “exclusive license”; how MIT’s Technology Licensing Office can help you and what investors are looking for when they ask you: “What about your IP”.

Mon Jan 26, 3:00 - 4:30 pm
Room 4-163

Come and hear Jack Turner, Associate Director of the MIT Technology Licensing Office and patent attorney Sam Pasternack, discuss the ins and outs of obtaining patents. This popular session covers a bit of patent history and a lot about current practices, processes, and issues surrounding obtaining a patent; the focus is on the process used at MIT for ideas/inventions developed by the MIT community. A portion of the session is devoted to questions and answers. If you think you will ever invent something, you need to be here.
