Chart One (click chart for fullsize image)
The University of Delaware's Office of Economic Innovation and Partnerships (OEIP) works with the University community to turn research discoveries into meaningful inventions by shepherding newly disclosed inventions through the intellectual property asset development process. The chart illustrates the winnowing process as a large number of invention disclosures and patent applications are distilled into smaller numbers of productive licenses and start-up businesses. Under OEIP’s leadership the overall level of activity has been increasing.
Chart Two (click chart for fullsize image)
Through the Small Business and Technology Development Center, OEIP provides development guidance to technology and non-technology based businesses within and beyond the UD community. The chart shows the amount of new capital raised as well as the value of new Federal Procurement Technical Assistance (PTAC) contracts obtained with the assistance of the SBTDC.
Chart Three (click chart for fullsize image)
The chart shows the number of jobs created in Delaware as OEIP works with the University community and its partners (1) to assist new companies in starting up and sustaining their operations, (2) to assist other companies to develop and grow, (3) to assist companies to establish and maintain a presence in Delaware. In addition OEIP works with the University community and its partners to promote other job creating activities within the University’s major research centers and at the Delaware Technology Park.
Chart Four (click chart for fullsize image)
The jobs created directly by activities of OEIP in conjunction with the University community and its partners lead to multiplied increases in the levels of economic activity in the State. The chart shows that the multiplied economic effects include the total number of jobs created, the value of the incomes received from those jobs, the value of goods and services produced, and total amount of taxes paid to both the State and local governments.
Chart Five (click chart for fullsize image)
The chart shows the origins of the total economic impacts of OEIP, working in conjunction with the University community and its partners, on the Delaware economy.
Chart Six (click chart for fullsize image)
The Association of University Technology Managers (AUTM) collects data from major institutions on a variety of measures of the intellectual property asset development process. The chart shows how the University of Delaware compares to both (1) all universities that contribute data to AUTM and(2) the same group excluding MIT, Cal Tech and universities with medical schools (because IP development at these exclude schools is fundamentally different from institutions like Delaware).
Chart Seven (click chart for fullsize image)
One way to measure OEIP’s productivity is to express the AUTM measures of intellectual property asset development in terms of their levels per employee involved in the technology transfer process. The chart shows OEIP's productivity in comparison with the group of AUTM institutions excluding MIT, Cal Tech and those with medical schools.
