WARF Discovery Bulletin Winter 2012

Carl Gulbrandsen, WARF Managing Director

From the Managing Director:

Patent law changes require quicker inventor action

In September 2011, Congress passed the America Invents Act, the most significant change to the patent law in 60 years.

Unfortunately for universities, small companies and individuals, it is not a good law. Under this new law, it will be more expensive and more difficult to obtain, protect and enforce patents. For some universities—because of the increased expense—it may no longer be practical to pursue patenting of faculty and staff inventions.

Fortunately, at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, WARF exists and has the financial strength and resources that will enable us, with your help, to continue to protect, defend and license your inventions.
 
Last spring, WARF launched its Essential Topics Series to share timely information on campus. Presentations have included former U.S. Patent Commissioner Bob Stoll discussing the America Invents Act; a roundtable on technology ventures featuring SBA leader and UW–Madison grad Winslow Sargeant; and UW–Madison Physics Professor Sau Lan Wu's description of the July 4 discovery of the Higgs particle at CERN. An additional session by Wu helped accommodate the more than 800 people eager to hear her talk. Video of the Stoll and Wu lectures are available at www.discovery.wisc.edu.

The new law changes the U.S. patent system from a "first-to-invent" to a "first-inventor-to-file" system. At the same time, it significantly weakens the 12-month grace period from disclosure that has been so important to universities because it allows timely publication of research before a patent must be filed to protect invention ownership.

These changes take effect on March 16, 2013. After that date, protection of inventions under U.S. patent law will entail a race to the patent office.

It will no longer matter whether an applicant was the first to invent. What will matter is whether the applicant got to the patent office first.

In order for WARF to best serve you in protecting your inventions, we need your help in disclosing to WARF your discoveries and inventions early, before any non-confidential disclosures. Examples of routine academic activities that may disqualify an invention from patent protection include: academic papers; abstracts; posters; presentations; grant applications; web postings; open thesis defenses; and department or campus seminars.

But even if an unintentional public disclosure has occurred, WARF encourages inventors to disclose to a member of the intellectual property team as soon as possible to see whether the potential for protection remains.

In the weeks and months ahead, we will be continuing our efforts to visit campus researchers and discuss these changes. We are eager to answer any questions about the new patent law or any other topics related to WARF.

Our intellectual property management team stands ready to assist UW–Madison inventors, including faculty, staff and students. Learn more about our team inside this edition of the Discovery Bulletin or call us at 608.263.2500.

Meanwhile, three major research projects set in motion by graduate students and postdoctoral researchers also earned cash and campus-wide recognition as part of the WARF Discovery Challenge student competition.

Launched to highlight inventions with exceptional commercial potential arising from University of Wisconsin–Madison research, the WARF Innovation Awards focused on more than 350 invention disclosures submitted to the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation over the past 12 months. A panel of independent judges selected the top two inventions, which each received an award of $5,000.

The poultry feed additive was developed by UW–Madison animal science professor Mark Cook and researcher Jordan Sand. The product comes in the form of an antibody that controls coccidiosis, a common parasitic infection in poultry that hampers growth and reduces resistance to other infections.

Current methods to control the protozoan infection involve drugs and attenuated vaccines, yet drugs and antibiotics are being phased out of animal feed, especially in the European Union. Cook and Sand estimated that industry adoption of their anti-IL-10 antibody, which strengthens the birds' immune systems, would cost 50 percent less than the current, widely used vaccine regimen. The estimated market potential of the invention ranges from $128 million to $500 million per year.
 
UW–Madison graduate students and postdoctoral researchers competed for cash prizes and the opportunity for new collaboration in the inaugural WARF Discovery Challenge poster session.

Also earning a $5,000 award in the 2012 WARF Innovation Awards was a new electric motor design. While working as a postdoctoral researcher in electrical and computer engineering at UW–Madison, Daniel Ludois took his previous design for an air bearing-based capacitive power transfer system and applied it to a capacitive power generation system. His new electric motor design offers potential for power generation in a broad range of machines, including wind turbines, diesel generator sets and hybrid electric vehicles, among other applications.

Ludois' invention has the potential to reduce the capital cost of the machines by 50 percent while significantly increasing electrical efficiency when compared with existing power generation equipment. By achieving a power density comparable to magnetic machines, the material and manufacturing benefits of his next-generation capacitive motor are expected to make it a superior choice for high-speed applications such as utility turbo generators and heating, ventilation, air conditioning and pumping installations. The electric motor and generator market is currently valued at $73 billion worldwide while the backup power generation market is valued at $210 million worldwide.

WARF Discovery Challenge

In addition to honoring inventors with accepted disclosures, WARF also sponsored a competition designed to foster interdisciplinary collaboration among teams of graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. The winning WARF Discovery Challenge projects also received $5,000 each.

The winners were:

Elise Lockwood and Bryan Gibson: Lockwood is a postdoctoral researcher with the Wisconsin Center for Education Research while Gibson is pursuing a doctorate in computer sciences. Their project involves research into undergraduate mathematics education and methods for teaching combinatorial problem solving. Enumeration, or counting, is a basic mathematical process, yet its complexity grows rapidly in combinatorial problems. For example: "How many eight-letter passwords contain at least three E's?" Counting problems are central to computing probabilities and key to effectively writing and implementing computer programs. The researchers intend to develop teaching tools that improve students' combinatorial problem-solving capabilities.

Elon Roti Roti and Karissa Tilbury: Roti Roti is a postdoctoral researcher with the UW–Madison School of Medicine and Public Health's department of obstetrics and gynecology while Karissa Tilbury is a graduate research assistant in the department of biomedical engineering. The researchers are investigating the use of medications to protect a woman's ovaries against the toxic effects of a widely-used chemotherapy drug. The work aims to address the health challenges associated with premature menopause, an increasingly common problem as successful chemotherapy boosts survival rates among female cancer patients but damages the women's ovaries. Premature menopause brings infertility and increased risk for health complications including osteoporosis and heart failure. Reducing the toxic effects of chemotherapy on women's ovaries represents an important step toward improving the health and quality of life among cancer survivors.

Dan Wolak and Corinna Burger: Wolak is a doctoral student in pharmaceutical sciences while Burger is a professor in the neurology department of UW–Madison's School of Medicine and Public Health. The researchers are studying how various medicines diffuse through the brain to treat central nervous system disorders. When biotherapeutic agents are delivered directly to the brain, they must pass through narrow, maze-like extracellular spaces to reach intended target sites. The goal is to improve the diffusion characteristics of a variety of different large molecule biotherapeutics and proteins to enhance therapeutic benefits in the central nervous system.

Inventor Profile:

New electrodes resemble tiny trees, promise big energy advantages

Xudong Wang, an assistant professor of materials science with UW–Madison's College of Engineering, is developing three-dimensional nanowire electrode networks. The microscopic nanowire networks, painstakingly etched on top of silicon wafers, resemble tiny trees with waving branches that can capture sunlight and split water molecules to produce hydrogen as an energy source.
Xudong Wang, an assistant professor of materials science with UW–Madison's College of Engineering, is developing three-dimensional nanowire electrode networks. The microscopic nanowire networks, painstakingly etched on top of silicon wafers, resemble tiny trees with waving branches that can capture sunlight and split water molecules to produce hydrogen as an energy source.

Using a new class of nanomaterials, a University of Wisconsin–Madison inventor is working to capture energy from the sun much as nature intended—with trees in a forest.

But these forests fit on a silicon wafer. And the trees are actually strands of titanium oxide crystals with branches 1,000 times thinner than a human hair.

Xudong (ZHU-dong) Wang, an assistant professor in UW–Madison's College of Engineering, has been working to create these nanowire electrode forests since he joined UW–Madison in 2008. Aided by funding from the WARF Accelerator Program, the effort now appears close to achieving key goals.

"I started working on nanowires as a graduate student in 2002 because at that time, the nanowires were a very cool, new technology and it seemed like they had the potential to solve a lot of problems," said Wang. "We are still some months away from being able to demonstrate our findings on a commercial wafer scale, but so far we are looking at solar power energy conversion that is four times more efficient than regular nanowire-based technology. And we also see exciting applications for hydrogen fuel separation—converting water into hydrogen for use in fuel cells."

To create the tiny trees, Wang starts with the trunks, using a patterned etching process to selectively remove excess material from the silicon wafers and sculpt tiny erect wires embedded on the silicon chip base. Growing the branches is more difficult, but necessary to achieve the density and light absorption qualities needed to capture and convert energy more efficiently.

"The branches are critical because they provide a much larger surface area than the nanowire bases alone," Wang said. "The unique structure and chemical composition of the branches also allows for faster charge transport. It's what makes these electrodes so much more efficient."
 
The clear plastic case holding the sample chips reveals part of the process behind Wang's technological achievement. To create the large surface area needed for efficient charge transport, the chips are exposed to ion-laden vapor some 400 times. The repeated exposure allows crystals to form on the nanowire "trunks" and grow into branches that help transform sunlight or water into efficient energy sources.

The repeated exposure allows crystals to form on the nanowire "trunks" and grow into branches that help transform sunlight or water into efficient energy sources.
While other research groups continue to struggle in this area, Wang has developed a patented process that controls the accumulation of material on the surface of the nanowires and ensures that sunlight can penetrate through the entire structure. Wang's method involves exposing the silicon chip to alternating pulses of reactive vapor that saturates the surface growth sites upon the nanowire trunks and establishes the branches. The cycle is repeated 300 to 400 times.

"At the moment, we are on top of this technology, but this is something people have been trying to do for a long time and very competitive research groups in other countries are exploring different processes to reach the same goal," Wang said. "There is a great deal of interest in this area because it is a clean energy technology that will improve people's lives if we can make it commercially viable."

Support from the Accelerator Program is now being used to scale up the technology to the point that it will be attractive for industry. Wang said he expects to be able to refine his methods, achieve greater cost savings and demonstrate technological feasibility for commercial production over the next year.

With several patents pending on the work, Wang's three-dimensional nanowire electrode networks are part of WARF's Clean Technology portfolio.

From Idea to Invention

UW engineering student takes national inventor honors

Eric Ronning, an undergraduate in mechanical engineering, earned second place in the undergraduate division of the 2012 national Collegiate Inventors Competition, held in Washington, D.C. in November. Ronning collaborated with Thomas "Rock" Mackie, director of medical devices with the Morgridge Institute for Research, on his prosthetic hand project.
UW–Madison engineering student Eric Ronning won second place in the undergraduate category of the 2012 national Collegiate Inventors Competition. His invention, the ReHand, uses CT scanning and 3-D printing technologies to replicate an amputee's lost hand.

Working with the medical devices team at the Morgridge Institute for Research, Ronning developed the prosthetic hand to provide improved functionality, better aesthetics and reduced costs compared to models now on the market. Thomas "Rock" Mackie, director of medical devices for the Morgridge Institute, served as adviser to Ronning for the project.

Ronning, a junior studying mechanical engineering, came up with the ReHand concept during an engineering class as a way to help amputees in developing countries. Earlier this year, he won the Schoofs Prize for Creativity and took second place in the Tong Prototype competition, both organized through the UW–Madison's College of Engineering.
 
Ronning's ReHand was produced with help from the Advanced Fabrication Laboratory at the Morgridge Institute for Research. The ReHand marks a step forward in prosthetic technology because it uses medical imaging technology to produce a mirror image of an amputee's remaining hand and then produces the working model inexpensively with a 3-D printer.

The national Collegiate Inventors Competition award included $10,000 and the opportunity for Ronning to travel to Washington, D.C. for an event with other top student inventors. An additional $2,000 went to Mackie and the Morgridge Institute as part of Ronning's honor. The first place undergraduate award went to students from the Johns Hopkins Institute for Basic Biomedical Sciences for their FastStitch abdominal suturing device.

The national Collegiate Inventors Competition recognizes, rewards and encourages students to share their inventive ideas with the world. Introduced in 1990, the competition promotes innovation in science, engineering, technology and other creative endeavors and provides a window on the technologies that will benefit society in the future. Operated by Invent Now, the Collegiate Inventors Competition is sponsored by the Abbott Fund, the Kauffman Foundation and the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
 

Advanced Fabrication Lab welcomes collaboration

The Advanced Fabrication Lab at the Morgridge Institute for Research welcomes the opportunity for collaboration with undergraduates, graduate students and faculty researchers.

The lab features a full range of research and prototype development capabilities including computer-aided design, a variety of machine tools, 3-D model building equipment, a welding booth and staff with experience in a wide range of manufacturing settings. The lab's capabilities extend to the development of large-scale therapeutic equipment, complex biomedical systems and surgical tools.

A recent private fundraising effort has expanded the lab's ability to serve as a campus resource. Thanks to support from a donor familiar with the lab's work, a small budget for supplies now exists to help undergraduates complete select prototype and fabrication projects. Opportunities for faculty and graduate collaborations continue to grow, as well.

The lab is part of the medical devices group at the Morgridge Institute for Research and is in the lower level of the Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery building. Faculty and students with projects for consideration should contact George Petry, advanced prototyping project manager, at 608.316.4379, [email protected]; or Nathan Schumacher, assistant engineer, at 608.316.4378, [email protected].

Inventor Survey

WARF inventors rate the patenting and licensing experience

The patenting and licensing process may require some time and effort but University of Wisconsin–Madison inventors say they are motivated by benefits to society from development of their ideas.

The Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation's annual summary of its survey of inventors with disclosures over the past year drew a 30 percent response rate. Inventors scored their experiences on a scale of 1 to 4 with 1 being extremely satisfied and 4 being extremely dissatisfied.

The experience with WARF's disclosure process earned a highly satisfied score of 1.3 for the 2011–2012 period while the responsiveness of WARF's staff earned an even stronger 1.2 score. Inventors were slightly less satisfied (1.8) in their reaction when a decision was made to decline an invention for patenting, though even here the numbers show general satisfaction with the process.

Michael Falk, general counsel for WARF, said it is important to note that often the decision to decline an invention for patenting is not a reflection on the quality of the science involved. Instead, decisions to decline often center on the ability to obtain a commercially useful patent and then to detect infringement and enforce the patent in court.

As part of the recent survey, campus inventors were asked what motivated them to disclose their invention to WARF. Twenty-three percent of the respondents indicated a desire to see their idea move into commercial development and benefit society, with some noting that industry will not pursue the investment needed to introduce a new technology without appropriate intellectual property protection.

Others were motivated by positive experiences with the process in the past as well as a desire to benefit the university. Each year WARF contributes millions of dollars to the university thanks to investment earnings resulting from the commercial licensing of faculty inventions.

At Your Service:

After discovery, think disclosure!

After your eureka moment, but before you let anyone know about your discovery, the members of WARF's intellectual property team want to hear from you. They are your best resource for determining whether a patent should be filed to protect your patent rights for your invention.

A new U.S. law that awards patents under a "first-inventor-to-file" system increases the need for WARF to review and assess innovations in a timely manner. In exploring whether a discovery is patentable, WARF assesses whether it is:

  • Novel, useful and non-obvious (the basic patent criteria established by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office);
  • Marketable, with commercial and societal value projected; and
  • Appropriate for a patent or other intellectual property protection.

Before you publicly share your discovery, submit an invention disclosure report to a member of WARF's intellectual property team. The short invention disclosure reports are available online at www.warf.org/inventors.

Actions that may disqualify an invention from earning a patent include premature web postings, presentations, abstracts, papers, grant applications and department seminars. WARF encourages inventors to disclose to a member of the intellectual property team as soon as possible even if a public disclosure has already occurred.

WARF's intellectual property team stands ready to help

WARF's intellectual property team serves as the first point of contact for inventors in the disclosure process.
