JHU/APL Proprietary 4 OTT & APL Innovation OTT encourages IP disclosures, which are one formal method by which APL demonstrates innovation to sponsors (reporting activity). OTT serves as a “clearinghouse” for APL innovations and serves as a “connector,” helping individuals access the knowledge base within APL and the rest of the JHU community. When appropriate, OTT demonstrates APL innovation to the community (via showcases; conferences; website; patents). When appropriate, OTT transfers technologies to broaden the impact of APL innovation, often through dual use applications. As a result, the public benefits.

JHU/APL Proprietary 9 New Event Brown Bag Inventor Focus Groups Each will be dedicated to a specific technical area. Technical presentations and discussions. Tech Transfer Discussion, topics driven by inventor interest. For example: - What companies are reviewing APL technologies? - What new disclosures have been submitted in my technical area? - How does OTT value a technology? - What is OTT’s technology assessment process? - What really happens during negotiations?
