All inventions start with innovative ideas to solve problems.
The University of Johannesburg’s Technology Transfer Office (UJTTO) assists with the protection of these ideas where warranted, and to seek market entry.
The UJTTO supports university-based inventors on aspects of Intellectual Property (IP) management, which ranges from IP identification and disclosure, IP protection, and IP strategy development and implementation.
Support includes commercialisation of products, processes and services through avenues such as licenses and/or the creation of start-up companies.
