University Licensing Fees Rank No. 3

UW-Madison and its technology transfer organization — the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation — received more than $47.5 million last year in licensing revenues, or fees paid to use the patents the university holds for inventions and discoveries made by campus faculty and researchers. That’s the third highest in the nation, according to the Association of University Technology Managers, behind only the University of California System and New York University.
