Success Stories
The Office of Technology Transfer defines success in many ways. Our success stories fall into the following general categories/scenarios:
Step 1: An invention disclosure is submitted to Technology Transfer. This in and of itself can be a success story.
Step 2: Syracuse University protects the intellectual property using the most appropriate method(s), whether that be a patent application, copyright, trademark application, or trade secret.
Step 3:
- Scenario 1: The intellectual property is licensed to an existing company.
- Scenario 2: The intellectual property is licensed to a start-up company involving the inventor.
- Scenario 3: The intellectual property is licensed to a start-up company not involving the inventor, but in which the inventor enters into a consulting agreement with the licensee.
- Scenario 4: The intellectual property is licensed to another university that has received funding and wants to test the efficacy of the technology in a particular setting.
- Scenario 5: The intellectual property is licensed to a company involving the inventor AND the startup pursues and receives funding that is only available to projects involving university/industry collaborations.
- Scenario 6: The inventor “talks up” the technology with potential licensees.
- Scenario 7: Inventors curious about starting a company around their technology learn more about what is needed by participating in a pre-seed workshop. Please contact the Office of Technology Transfer to learn more about this opportunity.
