Resources for Inventors
The Office of Technology Transfer receives invention, copyright and tangible property disclosures from UM faculty, staff and students. We evaluate these disclosures for their commercial possibilities, and when possible license them to industry. If the inventions are successfully licensed, cash royalties collected by OTT provide funding to the inventors' departments and schools, as well as personal shares for the inventors themselves.
