Success Stories

As Technology Licensing Offices mature, and hopefully align their policies toward the trend of Socially Responsible licensing, the success of that university’s research efforts will grow exponentially. The success stories IP Advocate has chosen to profile in this section reflect much more than financial success. They also integrate socially responsible commercialization, in partnership with the researcher and with equality for all parties involved, for example:

• Idea Incubator: Bridging University Researchers With Business
• Occupant sensing technology in vehicles to suppress airbags and save the lives of children in the U.S. and worldwide
• The only FDA approved engineered tissue product for burn victims
• Groundbreaking treatments for spinal cord injury patients
• RSV vaccine
• Cancer therapies
