Licensing Process
Our licensing process strives to provide the most flexible, individual deal-focused negotiations as possible. We craft licensing deals that maximize the benefits for the licensee and the public. We view licensing as an ongoing and engaging partnership, rather than a simple transaction.
All of our exclusive commercialization partners are required to meet product development milestones in our license agreements to ensure UofL innovations are being brought to the market. These milestones are set on a case-by-case basis, and will be included in your contract.
UofL works with companies of all types, shapes and sizes to commercialize its technologies: from startups to international corporations, from the energy industry to biomedical devices.
The most important thing is fit: we want to find the right partner for the right technology. At UofL, we view the licensing process as a long-term relationship. We want to work side-by-side with you to further the technology's development and get it to market.
