We enable regional, state, 和 global impact

 

Why support technology commercialization 和 start-ups?

Scientific insights 和 academic 突破s advance the state of the field 和 contribute to the scientific community when published or presented at a scientific meeting. 然而, 没有 a company willing to invest in bringing the invention to the marketplace, many benefits of these advances can be left unrealized. 

As envisioned by the l和mark bayh - dole法案, we actively pursue commercialization opportunities while returning income to Virginia Tech inventors 和 to the university to support its mission. 

支持过渡, we identify prospective licensees from large 和 medium enterprises as well as startup companies. When IP is successfully licensed, compensation collected by VTIP provides funding to the inventors’ departments 和 schools as well as to the inventors themselves.

Although patentable inventions constitute the majority of our licensing activities, we also h和le copyright (软件) 和 tangible re搜索 property. 弗吉尼亚理工大学的 IP policy encourages collaboration 和 disclosure of IP by providing a generous share of licensing revenue to inventors.  Once new ideas are disclosed, the 许可和发布 centers are enabled to provide valuable business 和 technical guidance to inventors seeking to make the most from their ideas.

发明家-让 许可和发布 帮助你 突破.

Ownership of IP (novel results of re搜索 such as products, 流程, 机器, 软件, 生物技术, 等.) created by Virginia Tech faculty 和 employees (including students acting in their capacity as employees) vests with the University unless there is convincing 和 explicit evidence IP被开发 没有 the use of University resources 和/or facilities.  The term “University resources” is broad 和 includes University time of an originator 和/or personnel under his/her control. Leverage our expertise 和 VT's IP Policy to expedite the market impact of Virginia Tech inventions.
