Commercialization for Societal Impact: Intellectual Property

Intellectual Property – Policies and guides

Penn Center for Innovation (PCI) Commercialization Guide:

• PCI works in partnership with Penn faculty, staff, and graduate students to advance discoveries and ideas towards new products, services, and businesses that provide benefits back to Penn, its inventors, and society. After a new idea or invention is discussed with and disclosed to PCI, there are many possible commercialization pathways it could take, from patent protection to licensing or the formation of a startup.
