OIPA is the university unit that receives the invention disclosures, evaluates them, and determines if IP protection is appropriate for the disclosed technologies. WSURF is a 501c3 corporation that acts as the agent of WSU and is in-charge of licensing and managing the technologies. Once a technology is close to be licensed, OIPA assigns the technologies to WSURF for licensing and management. OIPA and WSURF are both physically located in the same building and OIPA personnel also serve as WSURF staff.
