Introduction
Florida Atlantic University (FAU) is a place where research and development of innovative ideas is strongly encouraged. Faculty, staff and students have access to a wide variety of opportunities and resources to foster unique collaborations and explore entrepreneurial endeavors. This network of support is intended to set you up for success as a researcher, no matter where your ideas take you.
The Office of Technology Development (OTD) manages intellectual property created by faculty, staff and students at FAU. The mission of the office is to obtain legal protection for intellectual property arising from FAU innovations (e.g. patents, copyrights, trademarks), and to commercialize those innovations through license agreements with existing companies or startups to create products and services that benefit the public.
