Commercialization can mean enhancing the product with a commercial partner, licensing the technology to an established company, or forming a startup to take the product to market.
Technology Transfer
Case Western Reserve University's Technology Transfer Office (TTO) serves our innovators with full-spectrum intellectual property services. For both faculty and students, they provide support for intellectual property and commercialization that spans the research and development continuum. We serve our researchers by assessing and building upon the commercial potential of new ideas and inventions.
Through interaction with our inventors, regional and national networks, including our affiliate healthcare systems, and potential commercial partners, we endeavor to determine the best path of translation and ultimate commercialization for University intellectual assets.
