 Dear all,

Greetings from the Society for Technology Management (STEM)!

In today's networked economy, successful companies are those that are truly
creative and perpetually create new knowledge. With the realization that
knowledge is the new engine of corporate success, companies are depending on
measuring, managing and developing their knowledge assets. Technology-driven
companies need to leverage their intellectual assets to retain their
competitive edge. Intellectual Property Asset Management and Technology
Transfer are the keys to achieve success in today's changing policy and
complex business environment.

It is in this background that the Society for Technology Management (STEM),
India's premier and pioneering technology transfer forum, will be hosting
its flagship international program, the Graduate Course in IPR and
Technology Transfer at Hotel Sullivan Court, Ooty, India from April 13-16,
2008.

The four-day program will examine the role of Intellectual Property (IP) as
a strategic technology transfer tool using case studies, best practices, and
interactive discussions. The world-class faculty for the program comprises
of senior IP practitioners, decision makers, academicians, drawn from the
US, EU and Asia. All the faculty members are senior professionals having
years of experience and expertise in intellectual property management and
technology transfer.

This program is aimed at research heads, technology transfer officers, IP
managers, technology managers, regulatory affairs specialists, and senior
policy makers engaged in IP policy development. Participants will be able to
learn current best practices in IP and innovation management; accelerating
commercialization through technology licensing and developing a policy
framework to manage their intellectual assets.

Details on the previous 2007 STEM IP program, including faculty profiles,
participant profiles and comments on the program, are available online at
