Niels Reimers : Father of Technology Licensing
In 1968 he established a research management office at Stanford University.
In 1969 he also established Office of Technology Licensing (OTL) at Stanford Univ.
The successful launching of these two offices led to his hiring by universities such
as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the University of California at
Berkeley, and the University of California at San Francisco, all of which were
seeking to establish their own offices for technology transfers.
A cofounder of the Association of University Technology Managers (AUTM),
Mr. Reimers has served as chairman of the Licensing Executive Society (U.S. and
Canada).
