Commercialization

Moving your invention from the university to the marketplace is often a lengthy process that requires education, networking and advocacy.

The Office of Technology Commercialization at UMKC helps UMKC researchers share their discoveries with the world by helping you:

  1. Protect intellectual property
  2. Decide when it's in your best interest to publish or patent
  3. Disclose your invention
  4. Explore your invention's commercial potential
