Over roughly the past decade, the University of Memphis has more than tripled the number of issued patents, from the low 20s to nearly 80.

The University’s patent growth is encouraging but faculty still must confront market size, development costs and time to market much earlier in the process.

Not every promising invention becomes a product.
Not every patent becomes a company.
Not every researcher wants to become an entrepreneur.

But big ideas deserve a path forward.

Through the Tennessee Technology Advancement Consortium, Launch Tennessee is helping universities like the UofM expand capacity for translational research and commercialization.

That support ranges from proof-of-concept funding to one-on-one guidance and connections beyond campus.

The work now includes the University’s Spinout Bootcamp, a pilot funded through the TTAC Partnership Program and designed to help a handful of research projects move toward products, companies or licenses.

Rather than expect faculty members to become CEOs, the bootcamp brings business experience to them.

Not every invention becomes a product, but with the right support, promising ideas can find a path to the marketplace.
