Stanford University’s Office of Technology Licensing (OTL) is one of the country’s most active offices in the field of technology transfer from university to industry. Their staff, most of whom are professionals engaged directly in licensing, manages over 2,500 active dockets.

Stanford’s OTL licensing professionals evaluate technologies that are disclosed to OTL and then develop a licensing strategy for the particular technology. Each associate is responsible for a portfolio of dockets from “cradle to grave.” The associates each have an area of technical expertise in life sciences, physical sciences or both.

The mission of Stanford University’s OTL is to promote the transfer of Stanford technology for society’s use and benefit while generating unrestricted income to support research and education.
