The Technology Transfer Process: From Discovery to Market

The Technology Transfer Process (TTP) is the systematic path we use to move your innovation out of the lab and into the marketplace. Our team guides you through every step.

Why is IP Important?

IP is the legal backbone of commercialization. It gives the creator (the University and the faculty) exclusive rights over their creation for a defined period, allowing us to attract investment and negotiate favorable licensing terms.

The 5-Step Research Commercialization & Technology Transfer Process:

Here is basic understanding and brief description of the Research Commercialization & Technology Transfer Process.

  • The researcher formally submits their invention to the Office of Research, Innovation, and Commercialization (ORIC).
  • Our team performs a preliminary assessment, including a check for Faculty/Department Specific Cultural Considerations and initial market potential.
  • If the innovation is promising, ORIC works with you to determine the best form of protection (Patent, Copyright, Trademark, or Trade Secret).
  • We manage the preparation and filing of patent applications.
  • We conduct in-depth market research to validate the technology's potential customer base, competitive landscape, and economic viability.
  • We define the optimal Commercialization Stream (PPC, PC, TTP, or Contract Research).
  • We actively market the opportunity to potential licensees, investors, or entrepreneurs.
  • This is where Third-Party Projects and Contract Research agreements are negotiated. For a spinout, the foundational business plan is developed.
  • ORIC manages the resulting agreements, monitors compliance, and distributes revenue back to the researcher(s), their department, and the University, ensuring reinvestment in future research.
