Indiana University has marked a successful three-year period during which it reported 154 licensing agreements and $17.1m in tech transfer revenue.
Indiana University’s innovation and commercialization office (IU ICO) generated 46 licensing agreements during the 2017-18 fiscal year, down from 62 licences the previous year.
The university reported 171 invention disclosures over the period, up from 164 in 2016-2017, though licensing and royalty revenue slumped almost 50% year-on-year to $3.4m.
IU ICO argued the performance builds on strong progress over a three-year horizon beginning 2015-2016, during which it has recorded 154 licensing agreements, 485 disclosures and $17.1m in revenue.
