TEchnology Transfer Offices
Technology Transfer Offices (TTOs) play a critical role in universities, research institutions, and companies by managing the process of transferring innovative technologies and research findings from academia to the commercial sector. The primary objective of tech transfer offices is to further support the institution or organization’s mission to not only advance research outcomes, but broadcast those innovations to positively affect society.
Challenges & Solutions
When TTOs are operating with limited staff, there may be only a few team members available to manage the TTO. Inefficient internal processes and strained communication channels can also make the success of this patent process difficult.
IP.com software and solutions help TTOs organize and track patent applications, granted patents, maintenance fees, and legal actions associated with each patent. Our proprietary semantic search engine is a powerful yet intuitive search platform, delivering relevant patent documents and technical literature quickly and accurately. This ensures that TTOs can monitor and protect their intellectual property effectively and efficiently to maximize patent success.
