Licensing for University Innovators

A license is a long-term partnership that aligns the interests of the University of baby直播app and a business partner by commercializing innovation developed at the university. Venture Partners at CU Boulder initiates commercialization by licensing university intellectual property (IP) to startups and industry partners. At Venture Partners, we have established leading practices for startup- and business-friendly licensing.

If you are a researcher, inventor or creator at CU Boulder, CU Denver (except CU Denver biosciences investigators, who should work with ) or UCCS and are interested in licensing your IP to an industry partner, please contact our licensing team or reach out to your assigned licensing manager.
