| The Intellectual Property Office works with business and entrepreneurial interests to help identify, protect, and commercialize the University's intellectual property for the purpose of benefiting society and spurring economic growth for our regional and US economies.
Inventions and technologies created by faculty, staff, and students of the University of South Carolina (USC) are assets of the University that represent the fruits of valuable and time-consuming research efforts. Many of these discoveries offer benefits to our society that are worthy of assertive efforts to make them widely available.
As part of the USC Research Foundation, the Intellectual Property Management Office also works with a variety of technical and administrative departments inside and outside the University. Resource specialties include: identifying, protecting, marketing, licensing, transferring and commercializing the University's intellectual property.
