The Intellectual Property Core (IP Core) is responsible for administering the intellectual property affairs of Seattle Children's Research Institute.
The IP Core promotes and facilitates the clinical and commercial use of research through an active licensing program, which results in additional revenues for future research.
The IP Core encourages investigators to submit invention disclosures on promising new technologies for eventual commercial utility.
The IP Core also consults with faculty and staff on topics related to industry relations, commercial development of inventions, patenting and patent strategy, licensing and all other issues involving intellectual property and venture development.
The IP Core is administered by the Vice President, Research Operations and Logistics, and is represented by members of the Office of Sponsored Research and Finance and the Office of the General Counsel.
