Technology Licensing Office
Technology Licensing Office(TLO) is responsible for
managing the intellectual property(IP) assets of Seoul
National University Hospital. We collect all kinds of
inventions and evaluate to decide whether patent them.
Together with the inventors, we try to find companies
which are interested in the invention for negotiating
a licensing agreement. In order to facilitating these
processes, we promote TLO’s activities and importance
of IP management to all faculty members, staffs and
hospital employees.
Through these activities, we aims at enhancing our
capability as a national R&D-centered hospital as well
as establishing a new profit model for the hospital’s
investment to further research including incentives for
inventors and inventors’ departments.
