About Technology Transfer
Technology Transfer works with faculty, staff, and students to help identify the value of basic ideas and inventions and bring these new technologies to the marketplace for the benefit of all.
滨苍惫别苍迟颈辞苍:听 Something invented; a product of the imagination; a composition of matter, device, contrivance, or process originated after study and experiment.
Some inventions are based upon pre-existing models or ideas, and others come from radical breakthroughs, which extend the boundaries of human knowledge or experience. The process of invention is highly creative and exploratory, with outcomes that are often uncertain or unknown.
Inventions
The first step in the inventive process is the initial idea. Inspiration may start the process, but inventions typically need further development, regardless of how complete the idea seems at first.
Faculty, staff and students are encouraged to develop and document their ideas and discoveries in order to transform those innovations into technologies that will ultimately improve the human condition!
兔子先生传媒文化作品 continues to make great progress in transferring novel ideas and technologies to the marketplace. A central theme of 兔子先生传媒文化作品鈥檚 strategic plan includes translating these inventions to commercial products or services in order to contribute to the revitalization and economic development of the entire region.
