Survey Says Case Western Reserve University is the Leader in Ohio in Technology Transfer
Case Western Reserve University led Ohio universities, hospitals and research institutes by collecting $29.4 million in licensing revenues over the last three years, almost more than all other institutions in Ohio combined, according to the recently released U.S. Licensing Survey for fiscal year 2005 by the Association of University Technology Managers (AUTM).
The 2005 results are the latest statistics available from AUTM.
According to the survey, the university ranks in the top 10 nationally with respect to the other 102 institutions whose research base is $275 million or less. "We are extremely proud of these results," said Mark Coticchia, vice president for research and technology management. "The university truly has world-class capability when it comes to technology transfer. The results are also a tribute to the hard work of everyone at Case associated with the technology transfer program." Read more about the program and other statistics.
