UK Startup License Program
As part of our continuing efforts to expand support for entrepreneurship, the University of Kentucky Office of Technology Commercialization (OTC) is excited to offer the UK Startup License program, a streamlined process to support the transfer of intellectual property from the University to startups prepared to commercialize the technology. By offering startup-friendly terms to entities formed specifically to develop the technology being licensed, the program, which is optional for those UK faculty and staff entrepreneurs who wish to participate, is designed to stimulate the creation of viable companies and better prepare them to de-risk UK’s early-stage technologies, license our related intellectual property, and introduce those innovations into the marketplace.
