Office of Innovation and Partnerships

The path from idea to reality is often unclear or can feel overwhelming to potential inventors. What is intellectual Property? How can you protect your idea? How can you commercialize it? Who owns what I invent at McGill? In order to answer these and other questions, the Technology Transfer team can help McGill researchers, staff and graduate students understand what their options are.

In-person drop in hours are every Thursday at 9:00 am; contact Olivia Novac (olivia.novac [at] mcgill.ca (subject: I%2BP%20Meeting%20Reservation, body: Please%20specify%20whether%20you%20would%20like%20to%20have%20a%20remote%20or%20in-person%20meeting!) ) to reserve your spot.
