Technology Commercialization Office

In 2001, the Technology Commercialization Office (TCO) was incorporated into the USU Research Foundation at the recommendation of USU President Kermit Hall and a faculty advisory group. The TCO assists faculty and staff in understanding the technology transfer process and complying with its requirements. In addition to their traditional role of patenting and licensing USU/USU Research Foundation technologies, the TCO has been given a new charter to increase emphasis on furthering the commercial value of these technologies.
