Technology Licensing Organizations (TLOs)

Technology Licensing Organizations (TLOs) are entities that help universities, research institutions, and companies manage and commercialize their innovative inventions and technologies. They evaluate new discoveries, protect intellectual property (like patents), and then license these rights to businesses or entrepreneurs interested in developing and bringing products to market. TLOs serve as intermediaries, connecting inventors with industry partners, facilitating revenue generation, and promoting the practical application of research breakthroughs while ensuring proper management and licensing of intellectual property rights.
