We recognize the importance of intellectual property whether through a patent, licensing of software, copyright, invention disclosures, trademarks, or trade secrets.
Patents
Since 1947 we have earned more than 1,500 U.S. patents. As part of a long-held tradition, patent rights arising from sponsored research at the Institute may be assigned to the client. SwRI generally retains the rights to Institute-funded advancements. We also help clients pursue patents for their sponsored research. For information on licensing any of the technologies in our intellectual property portfolio, contact the General Counsel’s Office at +1 210 522 5560.
