The development of technology transfer programs at universities throughout the US was catalyzed by the passage of the Bayh-Dole Act in 1980. This landmark legislation allowed universities to own and manage all inventions developed by their employees with federal funding. An effective technology transfer program requires: productive and innovative researchers; clear, supportive policies; knowledgeable professional staff; and adequate funding for operating expenses and for patenting inventions. When all four components are in place, technology transfer can enhance the university's ability to interact with industry and can make a significant contribution to economic development at the local, state and national level.
1980年《拜杜法案》的通过推动了美国各地大学技术转让项目的发展。这项具有里程碑意义的立法允许大学拥有和管理其员工利用联邦资金开发的所有发明。一个有效的技术转让项目需要：富有成效和创新精神的研究人员；明确、支持性的政策；知识渊博的专业人员；以及用于运营费用和发明专利申请的充足资金。当所有这四个要素都具备时，技术转让可以增强大学与产业界互动的能力，并能为地方、州和国家层面的经济发展做出重大贡献。
