SALT LAKE CITY, Aug 29, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- It's one thing to take the top spot from MIT in creating startup companies from university research, but it's quite another to maintain a steady commercialization program. Data released today by the University of Utah (the U) shows continued progress in commercializing technologies from July 2010 to July 2011. Highlights of the findings include the creation of 23 companies, 233 invention disclosures, 81 license agreements and engaging over 2,400 students.
The U's Technology Venture Development office, also known as Tech Ventures, collected the data. Tech Ventures facilitates all commercialization activities on campus, from managing patent applications and technology licenses to community outreach and student entrepreneurship programs.
