| | COGR -- University Technology Transfer |
 | | The technology transfer office is also responsible for oversight of patent prosecution, recording of income and disbursements, and yearly reports to the government. |  | | The major steps in technology transfer are: disclosure of inventions; record keeping and management; evaluation and marketing; patent prosecution; negotiation and drafting of license agreements; and management of active licences. |  | | The deciding factors are: the type of technology, its stage of development, the size of the potential market, the profit margin for the anticipated product, the amount of perceived risk, the strength of the patents and the projected cost of bringing a product to market. |

 | | Technology transfer is the process of developing practical applications for the results of scientific research. |  | | As a result, technology transfer organizations are often multidisciplinary, including scientists, engineers, economists, and marketers. |  | | For instance, a research result may be of interest, but patents are normally only issued for practical processes, and so someone, not necessarily the researchers, must come up with a specific practical process that depends on the result. |
