The Innovation Law Center (ILC) provides legal research, education, and information useful to assessing the commercialization prospects for new technology. The research is also useful when bringing new technologies from an early stage to investment ready. When it comes to commercializing new technology, knowing what you don’t know is half the battle. The ILC provides entrepreneurs and companies research important to identifying potential IP, market, and regulatory challenges and devise effective strategies to successfully bring that technology to market.  Research includes prior art searches, secondary market research, competitive and regulatory landscapes. The ILC has helped hundreds of companies and institutions make their technology vision become a commercial reality. If you are a company or institution focused on bringing new technology to market, the ILC is available to assist and guide you. Established in 1990, the ILC’s technology commercialization academic and applied learning programs were the first of their kind to examine the legal principles necessary to usher science and technology innovation from its earliest stages to successful commercialization.
