Broadly speaking, technology transfer is the movement of knowledge and discoveries to the general public. It can occur through publications, educated students entering the workforce, exchanges at conferences, and relationships with industry. For OTC, technology transfer means managing patents and copyrights, licensing them to third parties, and promoting partnership with industry.
