I recently graduated from UCSB, and in one class at the tech management program (www.tmp.ucsb.edu)
we were assigned to pick a patent or two and try to design a company around that. It’s incredibly tough. We picked some LCD patents as the core patents of light bulbs for housing and pitched to some VC’s. But as I realized from the beginning, something like LCD’s require a multitude of patents to have defensability, not just a few. But I still believe there is ways to connect to the inventors, wherever they might be, and to ‘exploit’ it for them. A friend of mine connected with a professor who made a bone density measurer or something, and he wanted to see the device help people so my friend is now looking to commercialize it.
