Donald S. Siegel, University of California, Riverside
Mike Wright, University of Nottingham

Non-profit institutions, most notably, universities and federal laboratories, have become much more aggressive in protecting and exploiting their intellectual property.

Submissions should be received by September 1, 2008 and should be accompanied by an assurance of originality and exclusivity.


About this blog

This blog is intended to explore the intersection of engineering and entrepreneurship education. Given my business card says “innovation and entrepreneurship” and my background running a startup software company, it’s a longtime interest.
