Len teamed up with Howard in 2011 to create Sigma Surfacing.<\/p>\n
Len is Brown University\u2019s Director of Business Development in Brown\u2019s Department of Technology Innovations, and\u00a0an expert at helping companies understand the value of licensing opportunities so that those companies can independently decide whether licensing is best for them or not, with the clear understanding that the patent licensor only does well if the licensing company also does well. So, any contract we enter into has to be designed so that our partners\u00a0do very well.<\/p>\n
