Partnerships with Business, Industry and Government
    

 

    Rutgers recognizes the need to translate the fruits of its research into applications which benefit government, business and industry, and, ultimately, all citizens of the state. The initiatives in this area, from professional programs to Agricultural Extension Service activities, are far too numerous to cite in this report. What follows is a description of one kind of effort being made in this area: development and transfer of new technology.

    New products and services are tangible outcomes of research at the university. For this to occur, the technology that derives from this research must be transferred to the marketplace, a process which begins with the disclosure of inventions and the filing of patent applications. Since fiscal year 1991, the Office of Corporate Liaison and Technology Transfer at Rutgers has disclosed over 520 inventions, a testament to the fruitfulness of the research conducted at Rutgers. Since fiscal year 1991, Rutgers received more than $21 million in gross royalties from technology, income which in turn supports ongoing research and development activities. The production and transfer of new technology at Rutgers enhances the ability of businesses and industries within the state to compete nationally and internationally.
