OIPC treats technology transfer as a fundamental extension of the University of Alaska’s teaching and public benefit missions, and we employ a diversity of innovation management pathways to connect University research to societal benefit.

We work within our campus community to facilitate the invention and disbursement of new technologies.  Through our consulting, contracting, and intellectual property protection functions, we strive to make innovation as easy as possible for the innovator, and give them the resources they need.  If you are an innovator at the University, please explore this section for more information about the advantages of working with us.

If you are inventor at the University of Alaska, the following sections may be of interest to you:

• Benefits of Working with Our Office
• Our Invention Disclosure Form
• Non-Disclosure Agreements

OIPC also works with private companies and we strive to help our industrial partners meet their research and innovation needs.  We use industry best practices as a guideline in our dealings, but are willing to negotiate with industrial partners to suit their commercial needs.  OIPC is here to educate industry on the university research process, and if we can help, we introduce them to the right faculty, staff, and department for their innovative projects.  If you would like more information about how we work with companies and our industrial partners, please see our Best Practices section.
