Overview

The Technology Transfer Process

Technology transfer is a key part of the research process for scientific and technical disciplines. For scientific and technical research to be of use to society, the research process doesn’t stop with completion of a study, publication of a paper, or graduation of students. This is the point where technology transfer steps in to continue the process by identifying, protecting, packaging, and licensing to business intellectual property and know-how to further develop and commercialize university technology.

The University of Colorado regents and president have made technology transfer a high priority systemwide. With new funding and personnel the revamped Technology Transfer Office (TTO) provides valuable "next steps" leadership: i.e., identifying, protecting, packaging, and licensing to business the intellectual property (IP) and know-how resulting from the research process.

If you are a member of the community of early technology adopters, either in Colorado or elsewhere in the nation, we want to build a relationship with you. If you are interested in connecting with an expert in a particular field or you are looking for licensable technologies to enhance your company’s products or services, TTO’s staff can act as a conduit.
