Collaborate with USC Researchers

TCO serves as a key point of coordination between industry partners, licensees, and the university’s research ecosystem. In addition to licensing intellectual property (IP), TCO assists companies in identifying relevant research programs, faculty expertise, and development opportunities that align with commercial objectives. 

Research Ecosystem

TCO works closely with the university's Office of Research to support sponsored research, collaboration agreements, and other industry‑engaged activities. This partnership helps ensure that IP rights, publication considerations, and commercialization pathways are appropriately addressed in research agreements, enabling clear and effective technology transfer.
