Become a Certified Research Developer in 2012

Being a brilliant engineer is no longer the singular metric by which your contribution to your employer or client will be measured. Being an accomplished scientist is by itself inadequate to boost your company's earnings.

The Certified Research Developer designation is designed to teach the scientific and engineering communities how to better focus their research on initiatives that have the greatest promise of becoming value-added commercial endeavors.

In addition to maintaining their technical skills, researchers must take concrete steps to protect their employer's intellectual property and play a constructive role in the commercialization of their inventions.

The following are a few of the courses that are included in the Certified Research Developer program:

• Business Model Validation
• Valuation of Emerging Technologies
• Engineering Management & IP Development
• A Researcher's Primer on Patent Drafting and Prosecution
• Conducting Free Patent Searches
• Best Practices for Conducting Advanced Patent Searches
• Drafting Invention Disclosures
• Patent Anatomy and Hygiene
• Researchers' Legal Obligations
• How Researchers Can Better Influence Corporate Results
• Introduction to Real Options
