Position Details
General Statement | TechLink is a nationally recognized technology transfer center at Montana State University (MSU), established in 1996. Since 1999, TechLink has served as the primary, nationally focused "partnership intermediary’ for the US Department of Defense (DoD), helping the DoD to develop productive technology partnerships with US industry, primarily small businesses. In 2019, TechLink began providing the same service to the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) as its first-ever partnership intermediary. Techlink is a not-for-profit organization, and its efforts are funded by the DoD and VA. Techlink’s primary focus is helping DoD and VA laboratories to transfer their inventions to US companies, primarily through intellectual property licensing. DoD labs generate over 500 patented inventions a year in all technology fields, including medicine, electronics, software, communications, advanced materials, and energy-related technologies. VA laboratories produce hundreds of medically focused inventions a year, intending to improve the lives of veterans and the broader civilian public. Techlink currently brokers or facilitates approximately 85 percent of DoD’s annual license agreements with industry and the majority of VA’s license agreements. These license agreements enable companies to develop, manufacture, and sell new products and services using DoD and VA inventions. In addition, Techlink helps establish CRADAs between DoDand VA laboratories and companies for the joint development of innovative technology. Altogether, Techlink has established over 1800 technology partnerships between federal laboratories and US industry. These partnerships involve over 100 different federal laboratories or organizations and have resulted in the transfer of well over 1000 inventions to US industry. Techlink also manages the MSU Technology Transfer Office (TTO), and some TechLink employees engage in technology transfer for the University as well as Techlink’s federal sponsors. |
