UCLA Inventions
UCLA was the first University of California campus to
establish a local technology transfer program. Interest
in the program grew quickly, but eventually outpaced the
staffing and resources allocated for managing technology

Property Administration (OIPA) under the leadership of
Executive Director Andrew Neighbour. In 2002, the UCLA
office charged with protecting and commercializing UCLA
patents and inventions began a major reorganization. Read
about how the new OIPA helps bring the next big thing

Vice Chancellor for Research, Andrew Neighbour; Dr. Farhad
Parhami, Associate Professor, Dept. of Medicine, David
Geffen School of Medicine, UCLA
