Marshfield Clinic said Monday that it will become the first organization outside of the states public university system to use the systems technology transfer expertise to commercialize the work of researchers.
Marshfield has signed a contract with WiSys Technology Foundation Inc. that will give the clinic instant patenting and licensing expertise and encourage collaboration between Marshfield and state public research institutions. WiSys is a subsidiary of the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation, one of the oldest and most successful university technology transfer organizations in the country.
