The document discusses different staffing models for technology transfer offices that commercialize innovations from universities and research institutions. It describes a "side-by-side" model where all staff do everything, a "cradle-to-grave" model where one office handles everything, and a "distributed" model with specialized offices at each institution. It argues that a "hybrid" model is best, with technology transfer specialists having responsibilities from invention disclosure through licensing, supported by intellectual property and licensing specialists. This approach allows for specialization while maintaining connections between different stages of the transfer process.
