Bringing global access licensing to the UC

UAEM members from the University of California campuses have been invited by UC President Mark Yudof to present our proposal for the adoption of a global access licensing policy to the Technology Transfer Transfer Advisory Committee (TTAC) on March 12th, 2009.
