Herskowitz noted that most of the value that Columbia University gets from its similar Lean LanchPad program is that it gets its inventors out of their laboratories and into the offices of potential customers. As an example of the power of talking to customers, Chang recounted the story of an experience that Doug Dietz, a GE engineer who was the principal designer of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Read the entire page →

Herskowitz agreed with both of these comments, adding that while Google actually did begin with a patent license from Stanford University, that license has not driven most of the company's success.
