NDSU/TTO serves as a link between the University and the NDSU Research Foundation (NDSU/RF).
Once an invention report is made to the NDSU/TTO and assignment of the invention is completed,
then NDSU assigns the invention to the NDSU Research Foundation to handle the protection and
commercialization of the technology.
The overall responsibility of the Technology Transfer and Commercialization Office is to
identify and to protect the innovations and Intellectual Property(IP) that is developed within
the UND schools and colleges and to commercialize these IP assets.
