Researchers/Inventors
Technology Transfer at Wayne State
The Wayne State University Technology Transfer Office (TTO) is tasked with enhancing the likelihood that inventions developed at WSU are properly protected and practically applied. WSU researchers disclose new technology to the TTO, preferably well before any public disclosure. The TTO works to evaluate disclosed technology in a timely fashion in order to assign resources for patenting and marketing of such inventions.
The TTO aims to inspire the practical application of WSU technology, with goals of enhanced inventor recognition, industry support and collaboration, and possible monetary compensation for inventors and the University in the form of license revenues.
