2009-A9991 (ACTIVE) - Sponsor Memo

                                BILL NUMBER:A9991

TITLE OF BILL:
An  act  to amend the public authorities law, in relation to the science
and technology law center; and to repeal section 209-q of the  executive
law, relating to the science and technology law center

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
To recodify the science and technology law center from the executive law
to  the  public  authorities law and to establish the technology commer-
cialization clinic.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
The legislation would establish the technology commercialization  clinic
administered  by  the  New York state foundation for science, technology
and innovation (NYSTAR) and managed by the science  and  technology  law
center  for  the  purposes  of assisting universities, entrepreneurs and
companies in the state in commercializing new  products  and  processes.
Entities eligible to operate the clinics would be competitively selected
and  would  include  business,  law  and  engineering  schools and other
academic research entities located at colleges and universities  in  the
state.  Students supervised by appropriate faculty and university admin-
istrators would conduct such activities  as  engaging  in  research  and
analysis  of  the commercial development of early-stage technologies and
providing research and analysis of  technical,  marketing,  intellectual
property and legal issues related to commercial development of new tech-

nologies.

EFFECTS OF PRESENT LAW WHICH THIS BILL WOULD ALTER:
Repeals  section 209-q of executive law and adds new sections 3102-f and
3102-g to public authorities law.

JUSTIFICATION:
New York State invests over $100 million a year in  university  research
and  New  York  State  universities  invest  nearly $4 billion a year in
research through government, industry and internal  funding.  The  State
ranks  second  nationally  in  total  research spending by universities.
However, New York State universities incubate fewer new  companies  (35)
than  Massachusetts  (60)  and  California (56), and has far fewer fast-
growing new companies (11) than California (169) and Massachusetts (46).
The great challenge is to transform  extraordinary  research  investment
into  commercially  viable products and processes and create new jobs. A
major problem in commercialization of research is the lack  of  business
and legal information and analysis necessary to guide the development of
early-stage  technologies  and to plan the launch of start-up companies,
This program would directly address this problem.

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
None.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS:
None.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
Immediately.
