A. Explore SMU technologies available for licensing
SMU, a research focused university, specialises in deep-tech and cutting-edge technologies. As an engaged city university with a robust portfolio of technologies, we offer licenses for our patented and copyrighted inventions and know-how to industry partners.
Licenses are typically granted when the industry partner has business-driven objectives that require SMU's intellectual property or know-how to achieve technical milestones. Intellectual property and know-how are licensed under various terms to accommodate the specific business needs of the industry partner. In cases where no specific background intellectual property is available, special non-exclusive know-how licenses are established.
