University of Wisconsin Celebrates 90 Years of Innovation Excellence

The Association of University Technology Managers AUTM annual meeting will start tomorrow in New Orleans. With this in mind, today we continue our recent coverage of university patenting with a look at the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation WARF. Founded in 1925, WARF serves as the tech transfer organization for the University of Wisconsin-Madison. It manages a $2.6 billion endowment and supports innovation at UW-Madison by obtaining patent rights for the university’s discoveries and licensing those patents commercially.
