Susanne Moore will become the managing director of technology transfer and intellectual property for Texas Tech University on Nov. 20.
Moore currently is an attorney in the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center Office of General Counsel in the professional liability division.
“Susanne is a patent attorney and will be extremely helpful to all faculty members who are working through the copyright and patent process,” said Dean Smith, vice president of research at Texas Tech University. “Technology transfer can create an impact on our local and state economy. It’s vital that we have someone with Susanne’s skills to help our faculty bring their discoveries into the marketplace.”
The Office of Technology Transfer and Intellectual Property is charged with assisting faculty members who have developed new products or technology to bring those innovations to the marketplace. Moore’s office is a shared service between Texas Tech University and the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center.
“The HSC is very pleased to have Susanne appointed to this position. As we further develop our research programs, there will undoubtedly be opportunities for entrepreneurial faculty to spin-off new technologies. Susanne’s background in patent law is the type of expertise needed to facilitate these important endeavors,” said Roderick Nairn, dean of the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and executive vice president for academic affairs at the Health Sciences Center.
Moore, who has been working in the office part-time for about a year, will focus on the faculty and staff.
“I want our inventors to know they can count on this office to help them maneuver through the legal issues of applying for patents and copyrights,” she said. “For the first time, this office will now be able to perform a portion of the patenting work in-house which will enable us to increase the volume of patents filed yearly. There are many innovative disclosures currently being submitted to our office and I am excited to help inventors at both universities take these technologies to the patent office and to the marketplace.”
Moore has been with the Health Sciences Center general council since 2002. She is a registered nurse, earning her nursing degree from the University of Texas at Tyler and a graduate of the Texas Tech School of Law.
