Bring to Market

BU is committed to getting our researchers’ ideas, technology, and work into the hands of the people they can benefit. The University’s Industry Engagement and Technology Development offices are here to help, whether that means facilitating industry meetings, creating intellectual property (e.g., patent, copyright) to protect your idea, completing license agreements, or providing guidance for a plan that meets your objective.
