Professor Hagelin teaches intellectual property and technology commercialization law, and his research focuses on intellectual property strategy and patent valuation. He has developed a new method to value patents, called Competitive Advantage Valuation or CAV, and currently has a patent application pending on the CAV method. Professor Hagelin is the founder and director of the Syracuse University New Technology Law Center (SUNTEC) and of the Technology Commercialization Research Center (TCRC). In his capacity as director of the TCRC, Professor Hagelin has supervised over 100 research projects on the commercial development of early-stage technologies on behalf of universities, federal research laboratories, technology development organizations, and large, medium, small and start-up companies. Professor Hagelin has also directed foreign law programs in London and Hong Kong.
In March 2004, Syracuse University College of Law was selected by the New York State Office of Science, Technology and Academic Research (NYSTAR), in a peer review state-wide competition, to be the New York State Science & Technology Law Center (NYS STLC) for the next three years. With funding in excess of $1 million, the mission of the NYS STLC is to provide legal education, research, information and support services to the more than 30 research centers supported by New York State. Professor Hagelin will serve as director of the NYS STLC.
In August 2007, Syracuse University College of Law was re-designated as the New York State Science & Technology Law Center for a second three year term ending in August 2010. The re-designation included an additional $1 million in funding to support NYS STLC activities, technology commercialization research projects, and student scholarships and grants. Professor Hagelin will continue to serve as director of the NYS STLC
