Illumina, Inc. – The Big Picture • So where did the technology and the company come from? And why is it unique? – • What lessons can we as scientists learn from the Illumina story? – • Technology derived from an academic chemistry laboratory Development of Illumina’s technology teaches scientists commercialization lessons of their inventions What lessons can those in policy-making positions learn from this story? – Case study illustrates the intentions of the Bayh-Dole Act of 1980 6 October 2007 Illumina, Inc. - IGSP Talk Deirdre B.

Things to consider 1. This is a story about a company with unique technology 2. That technology was developed by a researcher • • 3. Hero story Balance of Open Science Norms and Commercialization Many factors impacted the success of the researcher, the technology and the company: • Knowledge of IP • • Timing Industrial partnerships Due diligence on many fronts Technology transfer 6 October 2007 Illumina, Inc. - IGSP Talk Deirdre B.
