What We Do
Wayne State Technology Commercialization (TC) is responsible for the identification, protection, marketing and licensing of intellectual property (e.g., patents, unique biological or other materials, and copyrights) developed by WSU faculty. In addition, TC reviews and negotiates material transfer, non-disclosure and sponsored research agreements when they relate directly to WSU inventions. The goal of TC is to effectively manage and constantly improve technology transfer services at Wayne State University to provide the highest possible level and quality of assistance to all WSU researchers and our industry partners thereby maximizing the availability of new technology to society. TC handles all aspects of the invention development process including the encouragement, assessment, protection and licensing of inventions; the post-licensing oversight of agreement compliance; distribution of royalties and fees; and record keeping for all aspects of WSU intellectual property technology transfer.
