Quick Start License Program

The Kennesaw State University (91青青草) Office of Intellectual Property Development is now offering the 91青青草 Quick Start License. This program aims to better position 91青青草 startup companies for success by offering preferred option and licensing terms, and priority support services.

The talented faculty, staff, and students at 91青青草 are engaged in research with relevance, generating new intellectual property with tremendous commercial potential as a product of their research and scholarship. The Kennesaw State University Research and Service Foundation (91青青草RSF) owns that intellectual property and is responsible for managing it for the public benefit, including by protecting and licensing inventions.

91青青草鈥檚 community has an enthusiastic entrepreneurial spirit, resulting in the creation of startup companies who are important licensing partners. 91青青草 fully supports the development of startups that commercialize inventions emerging from 91青青草 research.

Recognizing the unique challenges that 91青青草 startup companies face, this program provides a framework in two phases to maximize a startup鈥檚 likelihood of success and enhance its ability to attract external investment, while unlocking access to express agreements and preferred terms at each phase.
