Students and researchers conducting research at Wright State University typically assign certain intellectual property to the University
(Wright State University Intellectual Property Policy and Procedures) against access to prime education and University resources and/or
salary payment. The Intellectual Property thus owned by Wright State University, is
managed
by the Wright State University Technology Transfer Office (TTO).

- Learn more about what Technology Transfer and licensing mean and encompass
- Investigate efficient ways of collaborating with the Technology Transfer Office to support together the University's mission of promoting regional economic growth
Eligibility to Intellectual Property protection requires a fine balance of rights and obligations from everybody who has something to do with research,
knowledge and inventions within the university. In addition, because Wright State University's goodwill attracts a large number of
contractual collaborations with a variety of outside parties, such as corporations or the Department of Defense, we
all have obligations toward our partners with respect to handling Intellectual Property.
- Learn more about what these obligations are
- Understand how they impact the University's role as a major player of economic development
- Discuss with a panel of representatives from Academia, Government and Industry how to better reconcile rights given by academic freedom with obligations toward the Community and the Government.
