Additional Forms

UTRF fills a vital role in protecting and advancing the intellectual contributions of the faculty and staff at UT. Thanks to their expertise and proactive commitment to researchers, I was able to leave the pesky work of protecting and promoting my invention in their hands so I could get back to the joy and adventure of inventing.”

Jacqueline C. Whittemore, Assistant Professor, UT College of Veterinary Medicine
