We are committed to bringing UArizona technologies and innovations to the world through meaningful applications.
We are rallying all of our resources to move inventions – from medical research to devices to software – that have the potential to impact the COVID-19 crisis from the university out into the world.

Disclose an Invention
Are you a UArizona faculty member, graduate student, researcher or employee? While we are always looking for innovations from across the UArizona community to make a better world, we are issuing an urgent call for any inventions – from drugs to devices to software – that have the potential to impact the COVID-19 crisis.

Proactive Licensing Guidelines
In response to COVID-19, tech transfer offices (TTO) around the country are rapidly moving to a humanitarian licensing model for inventions that have the potential to impact the pandemic. AUTM, the professional organization for TTOs, recently released licensing guidelines to promote broad distribution of such public health solutions by encouraging universities to 1) offer time-limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free licenses to prevent, diagnose, treat and contain the virus during the pandemic; and 2) subsequently convert such non-exclusive licenses to a more typical commercial license, as appropriate. TLA supports this effort, has identified COVID related technologies, and is a signatory to the AUTM licensing guidelines.
