Patents
The Office of Intellectual Property (OIP)
(phone 517.355.2186) assists researchers in protecting innovations
and is MSU's negotiating and licensing agent in discussions with
private industry. OIP staff help faculty to develop strategies
for preserving the patentability of valuable ideas in light of
publication and grant-application plans, and counsel faculty on
other patent-related questions. OIP staff administer the University's
patent
policy, and we are authorized to sign confidential
disclosure and material transfer agreements, as well as patent
documents, on the University's behalf. In keeping with commerical
development goals of the State of Michigan, we also help entrepreneurial
members of our faculty or the outside community to establish start-up
ventures based on MSU's platform technologies, and we help existing
ventures to succeed by putting them in touch with Michigan resources
and programs.
