How is Technology Transferred?

Each participant plays a role in technology transfer. The faculty researchers conduct research and then disclose the research to their department and OTT. OTT assesses the technology to determine its patentability and marketability. Based upon the assessment, OTT may decide to protect the technology. Once the technology is protected, all parties decide on the best commercialization strategy. Finally, the technology is either licensed to a start-up company or to an existing company desiring to move it forward.
