Delaware's Patent Portfolio The State of Delaware's Economic Development Office (DEDO) has contracted with the Center for Advanced Technology and Innovation (CATI) to evaluate and assess more than 250 patented technologies from Dupont and Hercules Corporation. In addition, CATI will be assisting DEDO in replicating its technology transfer process in Delaware. All documents on this page can be downloaded by clicking any [details] link. All documents are in Microsoft Word format. For further information on this project please contact: Delaware Economic Development Office 99 Kings Highway Dover, DE 19901 Direct: (302) 739-4271 Fax: (302) 739-2028 About the Program The IP Business Creation Program was fostered by Governor Ruth Ann Minner's New Economy Initiative, a comprehensive economic stimulus package that promotes all businesses within the state of Delaware . As part of the ongoing Initiative, the State of Delaware and DuPont established the DuPont Innovation Center Partnership Program. It included a five-year $80 million capital investment by DuPont in the Experimental Station Laboratories, the donation of the 250 technology packages to the Delaware Emerging Technology Center , and a new biotechnology program for Delaware's high-school students. The new, state-of-the-art DuPont Innovation Center was created on the Experimental Station campus, DuPont's largest research facility with more than 2,000 scientists. The company also collaborated with the state to conduct biotechnology seminars for high-school students, providing six programs per year at the Innovation Center. The State of Delaware also formed a partnership with Hercules Corporation as part of the company's commitment to the State for its support of the Hercules Research Center Revitalization Project. In addition to the patent donations, the company is building a new Paper Applications Laboratory. Future Now DEDO is making available to the public the first 105 of 255 patented technologies from the initial two corporations. Marketing and licensing of the patents and/or proprietary technology packages may be utilized by entrepreneurs or technology-focused companies operating in Delaware at the time of licensing or acquisition of the technology. DEDO has already received multiple inquiries and a pre-qualification letter has been developed. Potential licensing arrangements are currently under consideration while DEDO actively seeks out more opportunities to create new businesses around these technologies.
