Academic discoveries account for some of the most successful products in the marketplace, from pharmaceutical blockbusters like Lyrica® to household names like Gatorade(TM). Yet few researchers understand the process of technology transfer or the various pathways for commercialization available to them.

Beyond Discovery is the ultimate guide for researchers interested in moving their inventions from the laboratory to the marketplace. Focusing particularly on scientists and engineers, this volume demystifies the process of commercialization by offering clarity on key complex topics, including technology transfer, intellectual property, and the uneven landscape for inventors of different genders and ethnicities. The authors describe how academics must adapt their thinking and provide numerous best practices for advancing through this unfamiliar and demanding terrain, with profiles of current scientists and engineers to illustrate how academic inventions have translated to commercial success. Beyond Discovery also offers realistic recommendations to academic institutions for engaging their researchers in the commercialization enterprise.

Comprehensive and pragmatic, Beyond Discovery illustrates how commercialization can deepen the impact of academic research and offers seasoned advice for each step in the technology transfer process.

Schelhorn and Herbers pave the way to more inclusive innovation pathways by demystifying the world of commercialization and challenging stereotypes of who can be an inventor. This comprehensive guide to commercialization is a must-read for anyone considering taking their academic work to market. * Heather Metcalf, Women in Engineering ProActive Network * This book will become an immediate classic. It offers cogent and practical guidance to students, faculty, and administrators that want to participate in or understand academic-based commercialization. This compilation of insightful and frank advice that is backed by extensive author experience is a first of its kind. * Thomas Rosol, Ohio University * Schelhorn and Herbers enable academics to make informed decisions for translating discoveries to market while also advancing a university career through their valuable focus on best practices and profiles of successful innovations, as well as the uneven commercialization playing field for women and people of color. * Sue V. Rosser, Georgia Tech and San Francisco State University *
