Quick Start License Program

The 食色视频 (食色视频) Office of Intellectual Property Development is now offering the 食色视频 Quick Start License. This program aims to better position 食色视频 startup companies for success by offering preferred option and licensing terms, and priority support services.

The talented faculty, staff, and students at 食色视频 are engaged in research with relevance, generating new intellectual property with tremendous commercial potential as a product of their research and scholarship. The 食色视频 Research and Service Foundation (食色视频RSF) owns that intellectual property and is responsible for managing it for the public benefit, including by protecting and licensing inventions.

食色视频鈥檚 community has an enthusiastic entrepreneurial spirit, resulting in the creation of startup companies who are important licensing partners. 食色视频 fully supports the development of startups that commercialize inventions emerging from 食色视频 research.

Recognizing the unique challenges that 食色视频 startup companies face, this program provides a framework in two phases to maximize a startup鈥檚 likelihood of success and enhance its ability to attract external investment, while unlocking access to express agreements and preferred terms at each phase.
