Technology Transfer, Innovation and Economic Impact

Up one level
Read about UO progress in transferring new knowledge and technology for the benefit of the public. While the Office of Technology Transfer handles the mechanics of creating spinoffs, managing intellectual property and formalizing relationships between industry and the university, this section is a place to find news about new developments, as well as background material on university successes.
