Patents and Licenses
MIT's Technology Licensing Office (TLO) is kept aware of new discoveries emanating from CMSE research and helps our researchers file patents and issue licenses.
In our last funding period, at least 83 U.S. patents were issued that were related to the MIT MRSEC. In addition, there are currently 24 active industrial licenses of CMSE-patented research. These numbers do not count the very significant patent and licensing activity for other sponsored research conducted by MRSEC-affiliated faculty.
