Wyoming Technology Transfer and Research Products Center
University of Wyoming
The University of Wyoming is dedicated to instruction, research, and the extension
of knowledge to the public. It is the policy of the University to carry out its scholarly
work in an open and free atmosphere, and to publish results obtained therefrom freely.
Research done primarily in anticipation of profit is incompatible with the aims of
the University. However, the University recognizes that patentable inventions and
copyrightable materials are conceived or created during the course of research conducted
by faculty and students using University facilities. These policies and the Wyoming
Technology Transfer and Research Products Center have been established to ensure that
those inventions and materials in which the University may have an interest will be
utilized in a manner consistent with the public good, through patent and copyright
licenses or otherwise, as well as to provide service to faculty, students and the
citizens of the State of Wyoming in technology transfer processes.
