Pabst Patent Group (PPG) is proud to support the Association of University Technology Managers (AUTM) in its efforts to educate, promote and inspire academic professionals and their world-changing research. PPG is sponsoring a roundtable discussion at the 2020 AUTM meeting in San Diego. Patrea Pabst, Rivka Monheit, Robert Hodges, Austin Yongye and Anna Sargsyan from our firm will attend the annual event.

STEM scientists who seek a career beyond research and development often express interest in university technology transfer. New hires in technology licensing require effective training for a successful transition to intellectual property licensing and management. Our sponsored discussion, entitled “Approaches to Training New Hires”, will focus on key points and current methods to successfully train new hires, including internship programs, mentoring, task prioritizing, and training materials. It will be held on Tuesday, March 10 from 4:00-5:15 PM (PT).

AUTM aims to provide educational sessions to the community, develop professional networks and encourage collaborative discourse among industry leaders. With more than 3,200 global members, and several thousand participating non-members, the AUTM Annual Meeting is the largest gathering in the world of academic technology transfer experts.
