Mandate and remit
The Office of Innovation and New Ventures is Seattle Children's technology transfer and venture arm, partnering with the hospital's researchers, clinicians and staff innovators to move pediatric discoveries toward products and treatments. It describes itself as a multidisciplinary team of licensing, patent and venture experts that evaluates and protects intellectual property, then transfers it to market through licensing or new company formation. Outside companies engage the office through licensing deals, sponsored collaborations and industry partnerships, and it maintains a listing of past and current commercial partners. The office also supports inventors through the Intellectual Property Core and a phased technology commercialization grant program run with the Washington Research Foundation. Inventors reach the group through a single intake address for invention disclosures and partnering inquiries.
These routes appear in the program's sourced public record.
