The Office of Commercialization (OC) supports researchers as they seek to move their research products and inventions outside the university.
The OC offers services and expertise to help take your research from the lab to the marketplace.
OC helps WSU researchers to manage invention disclosures, start-ups and licensing, marketing and other matters related to commercialization. They also operate programs like the Commercialization Gap Fund, which provides up to $50,000 annually to help researchers cross the final thresholds toward getting inventions to marketability. With ORSO, the OC also supports agreement types such as BIPA and CAP.
