Currently, CCEW primarily handles intellectual property generated from within the university. As it grows and becomes more established, however, the center also will accept select intellectual property of interest to Oklahoma from other sources. In this way, CCEW will operate as an entrepreneurial outreach center, bringing to market not just the university’s intellectual property, but that of others as well.
