Agreements

OTT has collected quarterly and annual metrics that provide a clear view of our activities. We then visualized that data through accessible charts and tables. These charts and tables reveal how our work benefits OTT as well as our partners, faculty, and entrepreneurs.

License Agreements by Type

OTT markets inventions received from our faculty partners to industry. If successful, we enter into a license agreement with a company to develop and sell products based upon our patent and other intellectual property (IP) rights. This graph, and companion tables, show the number by type of license agreements that grant an exclusive, non-exclusive, or option rights to our inventions.

Other Agreements by Type

OTT negotiates a variety of agreement types with companies, sponsors, and research partners. This graph, and companion table, show the annual number of incoming and outgoing MTAs (material transfer agreements), RDAs (restricted disclosure agreements), and others (e.g., unfunded research collaboration agreements).

Time From Disclosure to License

At the time OTT receives new inventions from our faculty partners, many are very early stage and require additional development. This graph shows the lag time between inception of a new invention, and its intellectual property (IP) protection, development, and marketing efforts leading to a new license with a corporate partner. The number of agreements vs average time from invention disclosure to a successful license for just two types of technology (therapeutic and medical device) is depicted here.
