Technology Transfer

The School of Engineering and Computer Science and the Technology Transfer Office are committed to the pursuit and support of enterprise and entrepreneurship. DU has established a network of researchers, investors, legal counsel and business people to facilitate the process of transforming ideas into commercial applications. This network has the flexibility and creativity to form partnerships, joint ventures, licensing agreements and spin-off companies.

SECS faculty and students are engaged in patent-producing research. DU's Patent Rights Committee evaluates the commercial potential of research and secures intellectual property rights before joining with business partners to go to market. SECS provides research expertise to help inventors and patent holders investigate the feasibility of their ideas. DU has the resources to help bring those ideas to the marketplace.

• SECS has contact with a broad network of investors looking for viable ideas to commercialize.
• SECS provides expertise to companies submitting SBIR/STTR proposals.
• SECS joins in joint appropriations requests to state, federal and international governments.
