Resources and Opportunities : NAU Tech Transfer Technology Transfer is the process of moving discoveries and inventions from academic laboratories to businesses that can commercialize them for the public benefit. To this end, Northern Arizona University (NAU) has established NAU Ventures, a partnership between NAU and Northern Arizona Center for Emerging Technologies (NACET). NAU Ventures is designed to protect and manage intellectual property (IP) developed by NAU faculty and staff, including patentable and copyrightable works. In accordance with Arizona Board of Regents IP Policy, NAU employees are required to disclose all discoveries to the Office of the Vice President for Research. If it is determined that the IP is owned by the University, NAU Ventures evaluates the IP to determine whether and how to protect the IP, and assesses potential market applications. This evaluation is then presented to the University’s IP Committee, comprised of NAU faculty, which in turn makes a recommendation to NAU's Vice President for Research.
