Colleagues describe him as "My company, EnZinc, and I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Austin Leach and his organization, TechLink, for the past three years. Dr. Leach was assigned by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Technology Transfer Group to assist us in our negotiations to obtain a commercial license. These negotiations for a complex piece of technology took about two years to complete. The role Austin and TechLink played was as a neutral facilitator between my company and the NRL. In that time Austin had to learn about the technology, our company, its mission, our proposed business model, our business assumptions, the market, and our business plan made up of detailed spreadsheets. In return, he had to explain to us and coach us on the procurement process, the NRL negotiation process, the US government’s position on licensing technology, and the particular regulations surrounding licensing government-developed technology. He accomplished this with (lots of) patience, professionalism, and good humor. Suffice it to say NRLs decision to assign Austin and TechLink was an excellent decision that we feel was critical to our being able to successfully conclude our licensing negotiations. We highly recommend Austin and TechLink.", "Austin helped Protective Innovations navigate the confusing road to securing an Exclusive Patent License Agreement (the first exclusive license ever granted by AFRL/RY) for the Active Shooter Protection System. We could always count on Austin to provide sound advice, break logjams and help us successfully navigate bureaucratic challenges. He truly went above and beyond-no question was too complicated, and he never minded when we asked dumb questions either. I had a great time working with him and learned a lot. I very much hope to have the chance to work with Austin again in the future!", and "It has been an absolute pleasure working with Austin on several government licensing deals. He is highly skilled, personable, and cares about his clients. The license deals he helped GoX Studio with have become critical to our continued success. His advise and actions through the process were invaluable. Thank you Austin!"
