Our Commitment to Researchers and Scholars

We are committed to serving the research community of Oklahoma State University—this includes students and staff in addition to faculty members. We are available to review your intellectual property with you; we will then explore the best possible solution for managing it.

We provide the timeliest response possible to user needs. Because there are a number of entities and people involved in the protection and licensing processes, it takes time.

Inventor Involvement

The active participation of the inventor is essential to the success of the licensing endeavor. It helps us help you! (Studies show that inventors develop 50-80 percent of licensing leads.)

Inventors provide background information and insights to intellectual property personnel and patent attorneys regarding prior art and potential uses and applications of the invention as well as likely licensing prospects. This participation strengthens the position of the University in the licensing process.
