Mandate and remit
The USC Stevens Center for Innovation is the University of Southern California's technology licensing office, serving inventors across the university including the Keck School of Medicine and Keck Medicine of USC clinical enterprise. It helps researchers move discoveries from the lab to the marketplace through three core functions: protecting intellectual property with patent and copyright guidance, partnering researchers with industry collaborators, and commercializing innovations through licensing agreements and startup formation. The office also administers proof-of-concept funding and startup support resources for faculty and clinician founders. Outside companies engage by licensing USC technologies, sponsoring research and partnering with USC startups. The center was founded in 1971 as the Office of Technology Licensing and renamed in 2007 following a $22 million endowment from Mark Stevens in 2004.
