Program model

Hospital technology transfer and commercialization offices

What this model typically enables

Offices that protect intellectual property, license inventions, and advise on whether a discovery should be licensed, partnered, or placed in a new company.

Technology transfer remains one of the clearest public commercialization structures in academic health systems. Official pages typically describe invention disclosure, patenting, licensing, and industry agreements.

A technology-transfer office can be highly active and still leave service, education, or operations assets without a commercial owner. The directory records the office that exists; it does not infer the rest of the portfolio.

These sourced records show how hospital innovation programs are organized through this particular function.
