Yissum, the Technology Transfer Company (TTC) is
responsible for recognizing and managing the IP assets of the
Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
Yissum’s mission is to help turn science into tangible
products, for society's use and benefit, while generating
income for the inventors and the University, to support
research and education.
1) evaluating projects, 2) patenting new inventions,
3) developing licensing strategies, 4) negotiating licensing
agreements,
5) assisting and supporting researchers who wish to establish
companies to develop and manufacture products based on
their inventions, and
6) coordinating joint research between inventors and
industrial partners.
It is general policy that rights to IP resulting from
government-sponsored research at universities would be
assigned to the universities.
The Technology Transfer Process
1) Yissum receives innovation disclosures from faculty,
staff and students.(HU rules).
2) Disclosures are evaluated for their commercial potential.
3) The invention is reviewed with the inventor to learn
about potential applications.
4) Develop a licensing strategy, consider the technical and
market risks and decide whether to patent the invention.
Yissum can decide not to pursue a commercialization
process, the inventor is notified and entitled to apply for a
patent independently and at his own expense. The IP
however, remains the property of the Hebrew University.
Acquired bureaucratic deficiency syndrome
Material with potential to become a revolutionary medicine for
treating AIDS was found in 1996 by Prof. Zeev Trainin,
Trainin and his team injected the material into mice that were
infected with an AIDS-like disease and the disease
disappeared almost in some of the mice. The Industry and
Trade Ministry agreed to provide the necessary financing
through one of its "high-tech incubator" funds, but the
Agriculture Ministry refused to waive its intellectual property
rights. Like children, the two ministries squabbled over who
owned the rights and in the meantime, the entire testing
process came to a halt. Trainin succeeded in interesting an
investor from Britain in the drug, but then the Justice Ministry
ruled that the Agriculture Ministry could not enter into direct
contractual ties with foreign investors
Technology Transfer Services
Different inventions require different approaches and
strategies of commercialization, For example, establishing
start-up entities and incubator companies vis a vis licensing
out IP rights. As part of the commercialization process our
assortment of available services includes:
patent applications and enforcement,
legal advice,
negotiation of agreements,
business development and
creating marketing materials.
Royalties distribution
Until 2001, royalties distribution was as follows: •
1/3 – To the Researchers •
1/3 – To Yissum •
1/3 – To the HU, as research share (to research •
budgets)
As of January 2001, new royalties distribution •
formula is used, as follows:
20% - To the Researchers •
40%- To Yissum and the HU •
20% - To the HU, as research share (to research •
budgets)
