Is EZ Access trademarked or patented?
EZ Access is a registered trademark of the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF). Some of the techniques within EZ Access are patented by WARF for the University of Wisconsin – Madison. For more information contact the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation: WARF 614 Walnut Street, 13th floor Madison, WI 53726 Telephone: 608-263-2500 Fax: 608-263-1064 The cost for licensing EZ Access is purposely kept very low in order to facilitate its use. The concepts were patented only because disclosure is required by law for federally funded research and to protect the ideas from being patented by others who would restrict their use. The royalty cost is typically a small fraction of a percent and is much less than the cost it would take to develop or even test cross-disability strategies. For details contact WARF. For US Government procurements a license is required but there is NO royalty since US Government funds were used in its development.
