Road map Created with Sketch. Revenue received from licensing is distributed to inventors, the inventors’ primary department, and Duke University for investment in future research . We market and license the technology to an existing business, or assist you in creating a new entity as a licensee (a “start-up”). We work with you to identify resources for you or third parties to continue development of your invention to de-risk it further for commercialization. In consultation with you, we determine the best method for protecting your invention, usually via patent or copyright protection. We assess your invention using criteria including patentability, stage of development, and marketability. Submit your invention using a Disclosure Form (see above for link) or contact us for a pre-disclosure meeting. Where it all begins: the raw material behind your potential ideas and inventions.
