Exclusive Licensing of technologies is only one of the avenues of commercializing an invention from NSU. You can also initiate an Options Agreement or collaborate with inventors through a Sponsored Research Agreement. We offer a fair amount of flexibility in our deal structure. The OTT staff will work with prospective parties interested in our technologies to identify the type of agreement that will work best for both of us.
