ABSTRACT
This chapter aims to provide guidance on how to approach technology transfer of human–computer interaction-related research. It discusses tech transfer both internal and external to a company. The chapter looks at it from the perspective of the researcher, because in practice the burden is more on the researcher to justify the transfer and to make it work. Technology transfers outside the boundaries of a legal entity, regardless of whether they originate in a government agency, academia, or an industrial lab, are almost by definition cleaner types of transfers. G. K. Manning recognized that successful technology transfer centers on viewpoints and perspectives and fundamentally on communications. The Association of University Technology Managers also provides a wealth of resources to its members on a number of issues related to technology transfer and intellectual property. One of the issues common to both internal and external technology transfer is intellectual property.
