Technology Transfer at Wayne State

The Wayne State University Office for Technology Commercialization is tasked with enhancing the likelihood that inventions developed at WSU are properly protected and practically applied. WSU researchers disclose new technology to the Office for Technology Commercialization preferably well before any public disclosure. The office works to evaluate disclosed technology in a timely fashion in order to assign resources for patenting and marketing of such inventions.

The Office for Technology Commercialization 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.
