With over 40,000 licensing agreements and nearly 5,000 companies spun out of University IP, start-ups and companies with their roots in the US university system now contribute $40 billion a year to the country’s economy. Universities often have creative people performing leading research and pioneering the development of new ingenious technologies. As a result, many universities hold core patents and fundamental know-how for breakthrough technologies. And it’s a virtual goldmine of commercial ready technologies and products just waiting for a start-up company to license.

Obtaining a license from a university to its newly developed technologies allows a start-up to gain early access to these technologies, and often at a price tag that is lower than developing the products or technology internally. Licensing University IP will teach you how to tap into this billion-dollar start-up opportunity.
