University of Utah Technology Licensing Office Official Website

Summary

The official site of the University of Utah Technology Licensing Office (TLO) — the university's centralized invention-disclosure, patent-licensing, and startup-formation office. This capture uses current Technology Licensing Office branding; the office was renamed from the PIVOT Center in October 2023 per University of Utah PIVOT Center. The homepage links to disclosure, commercialization, funding, and available-technologies resources and highlights AUTM 2025 top-10 commercialization rankings and featured spinout news.

Useful Claims

• This capture does not show faculty patent totals or the full disclosure-process description.
• A 2025 AUTM survey ranked the university among the top 10 U.S. universities for invention disclosures (No. 5), licenses executed (No. 5), copyright licenses (No. 4), gross license income (No. 9), and new licensed technologies (No. 3).
• Non-dilutive funding programs (Tech Discovery MicroGrants, Ascender Grants, NSF I-Corps, SBIR/STTR) appear in site navigation but are not described in this capture.

Reliability Notes

This is an official institutional source and is the right evidence for the office's own name history, process, programs, and self-reported statistics. Office name history, disclosure-process steps, and patent/disclosure volume figures on this page predate this capture and were not reconfirmed in the 2026-08-11 fetch. The 2025 AUTM ranking figures are self-reported summaries of an external survey and should be checked against the AUTM survey itself before being treated as independently verified.
