Charley Macedo to Speak About NFTs and Technology Transfer: Should Universities Jump on the Bandwagon at the AUTM’s 2021 Virtual Eastern Region Meeting
October 1, 2021
Charley Macedo will present a panel at the
AUTM’s 2021 Virtual Eastern Region Meeting on October 1. He will be speaking about NFTs and technology transfer and whether should universities jump on the bandwagon.
As the panel description notes, sales of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) exceeded $2 billion in the first quarter of 2021. Recently, several market players are trying to represent patents as NFTs to make transactions quicker, simpler, and more cost-effective. This presents unique opportunities and challenges to university technology transfer offices, looking to take advantage of this new trend. This panel will address several questions, including: what is an NFT? How are they created? What are the advantages/disadvantages of using NFTs? How can technology transfer offices utilize NFTs?
