Commercial Ventures & Intellectual Property (CVIP)

The Office of Commercial Ventures and Intellectual Property is responsible for evaluating, protecting and commercializing inventions and discoveries created by its academic researchers on the Amherst campus. We strive to create a customer-friendly system that assists faculty, staff and students in securing sponsored research funds and to transform ideas, inventions and creative works into commercially viable products, processes and services that have economic payback to the inventors, the sponsors and the university.
