About OCLTT
 

Rutgers University provides access to its science and technology through patenting and licensing of intellectual property, contracting for applied research projects, and actively organizing new company start-ups.  The university has maintained an active technology transfer program since 1989, when the Office of Corporate Liaison and Technology Transfer (OCLTT) was established. The primary purpose of the department is to transfer technology from the academic environment to the commercial sector.  In doing this, it acts as a bridge between two unique cultures - the academic/research world which generates knowledge and the business/commercial world which puts this knowledge into commercial application. The OCLTT team offers extensive industry and university experience and includes specialists in business, law, licensing and marketing who are dedicated to serving the distinct needs of the university faculty and corporate partners. Information for researchers looking for a way to bring their latest idea to the world and industry representatives seeking some of our university's cutting edge innovations is available on the OCLTT main site at http://ocltt.rutgers.edu.
