MDG May 2008 Forum: Alternatives for Commercializing a Medical Device
This Forum will address a dilemma many medical device entrepreneurs face – how to move from an interesting (patented) idea to a commercially viable product. We will hear from a panel of experienced practitioners, each of whom will advocate for a particular approach to furthering product development. The discussion will focus on a case, distributed by Harvard Business School, in order to make a consistent presentation of alternative approaches. The case is “Endius, Inc.: Alternatives for Developing a New Medical Device”. For those interested in ordering the case from HBS Publishing, the case number is DMI011.
Ken Toso, a seasoned product development leader from the Medical Device Industry, will advocate for in-house development.
Ken Fine, CEO of Proven Process, a medical device design firm, will present his position on why outsourcing is the best choice.
Carol Hempfling Pratt, a partner with Foley Hoag law firm, will present the case for licensing the patents owned by Endius to other companies.
We look forward to hearing from these presenters as they share their perspectives on alternatives for commercializing a Medical Device.
