Marketing UT Southwestern Technologies How does Southwestern market technologies available for licensing?
The Office for Technology Development markets Southwestern’s technology portfolio by a variety of methods. These include but are not limited to: the distribution of a Licensing Opportunity handbook which contains non-confidential descriptions of available technologies; the maintenance of UT Southwestern’s Technology Development Homepage which contains the same information as the handbook but also additional information on the technology transfer office and its staff as well as a listing of the US Patents assigned to the UT Board of Regents naming Southwestern investigators as inventors; the use of the staff’s extensive contacts throughout the intellectual property community, both industry and university based; and finally, utilizing the contacts that the inventors themselves have cultivated with potential licensees.
