Intellectual Property and Technology Commercialization

Transforming Our Discoveries Into Therapeutics
 

The Intellectual Property & Technology Commercialization program embodies the spirit of the National Jewish Health brand promise, Science Transforming Life®. We accelerate the development of basic scientific research towards clinical application by identifying and protecting the Center's intellectual property and facilitating business partnerships for technology development, licensing, and commercialization.

National Jewish Health currently has in its portfolio:

  • 110 active technologies developed from our research
  • 81 active US patents protecting these technologies
  • 50 percent of those active US patents are licensed to biotechnology companies for the development of therapeutics consistent with the spirit of the National Jewish Health brand promise, Science Transforming Life®.

Additionally, in the 10 years since the Intellectual Property & Technology Commercialization program was created, National Jewish Health has:

  • executed 170 license agreements, of which 96 are still active;
  • executed a total of 1317 material transfer agreements; and
  • helped create 8 start-up companies.
