University of California Licensing

University of California Licensing refers to the agreements that allow the university to grant permission for others to use its intellectual property, such as inventions, patents, trademarks, or research findings. This process helps the university generate revenue, promote innovation, and ensure that discoveries benefit society. When businesses or individuals want to use UC's intellectual assets, they negotiate a license, which sets the terms for use, royalties, and responsibilities. Ultimately, it helps transform academic research into practical applications while supporting the university's mission and goals.
