Commercialize Research
McMaster Industry Liaison Office (MILO) supports faculty, staff, and students at McMaster by facilitating the transfer of research discoveries from lab to market. In addition to patentable inventions, MILO also supports the commercialization of software and mobile applications, copyright tools and quality-of-life questionnaires, biological materials, and know-how.
If you intend to develop an app, software, or any other innovation with commercial potential, MILO can help. McMaster’s Joint Intellectual Property Policy allows inventors to pursue commercialization on their own or with the assistance of MILO. See also MILO’s interpretation of the Joint Intellectual Property Policy.
