TECHNOLOGY LICENSING

Approximately 350 cat crackers are operating worldwide, with a total processing capacity of over 12.7 million barrels per day [1]. Most of the existing FCC units have been designed or modified by six major technology licensers ... 

In the past several years, more attentions have been given to improving mechanical performance of the reactor stripper. Proprietary stripper designs are being offered by the FCC technology licensers in attempts to improve the catalyst/steam contact. 

The new commercially available technologies concern the removal of sulfur with a minimum lost of octane rating. SCANfming and Prime G+ are the process technologies licensed by ExxonMobil and IFP, respectively. In SCANfining (Fig. 4), the complete naphtha (full range naphtha) is treated, with a proprietary catalyst. 

Chiral cyanohydrins in fact are high-value building blocks and useful precursors for hydroxyamino acids and amino alcohols. The new sol-gel immobilization technology licensed from Johnson Matthey and named CTIS CACHy (CTIS Chiral Technologies Interface System)32 dramatically improves process economics for large-scale pharmaceutical manufacturing as it increases the turnover number of the catalyst... 

In 2001 Sasol announced the commercialisation of a Rh-catalysed hydroformylation technology, licensed from Kvaemer (Davy McKee), for conversion of Sasol s Fischer-Tropsch 1-alkenes to detergent alcohols, on 120 kt/a scale [55] that is probably using this technology.

Homopolymers and a variety of copolymers are produced. Since 1996, ExxonMobil Chemical Technology Licensing LLC has sold licenses with a total installed capacity (either... 

Application To selectively convert toluene to high-purity (90%+) paraxylene-rich (PX) xylenes and benzene using ExxonMobil s technologies licensed under the name PxMax. 

The overall costs of the Research Corporation and the cost per patent rose substantially from 1960 to 1982 (see Figure 1.2). As a result, the Research Corporation encountered cost pressures that in turn caused a decline in its net income (see Figure 1.3). The mid-1970s in particular brought recurrent deficits. These deficits appeared prior to the Bayh-Dole Act, which led a number of universities to enter technology licensing independently of the Research Corporation. 

This broader array of objectives is in many cases difficult to measure, difficult to quantify, operates over a longer time horizon and, therefore, it s much more difficult to get it into the managerial consciousness of the people in the technology licensing office.
