To be a recognized leader for best practices in management and commercialization of intellectual property resulting from the university’s scientific and academic research.

The steps to commercialization begins with scientific or academic research activities and experiments during which observations and unexpected results occur.

This can be achieved by individual researcher or multiple researchers. A research discovery can be considered as invention if it is novel, useful and non-obvious. The office is tasked with helping to assess your invention once it is submitted.
