Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

Organization has moved beyond its original patent-donation model

In the first partnership of its new joint-venture model, the Center for Advanced Technology and Innovation will market and license 10 United States patents held by the Wayne, N.J.-based International Specialty Products.

The joint venture model is seen by CATI as the next big wave in acquiring underutilized, or "off-strategy" technologies, and making them available to entrepreneurs or existing companies in southeastern Wisconsin.

It also marks a change from the previous technology-transfer model, in which unused patents were donated to CATI. "We’ve had some success turning patents into products, but we needed a different business model," said Brian Curry, assistant director of CATI. "The joint-venture model will be good for Racine and Wisconsin."
