Technology Licensing & Commercialization

Bringing University Innovations to the Marketplace

The University of Peshawar is committed to ensuring that the scientific breakthroughs and technical innovations developed within our walls create a real-world impact. Technology Licensing and Commercialization is the vital process that moves these discoveries from the research lab into the hands of industry leaders and consumers. Through the Office of Research, Innovation, and Commercialization (ORIC), we facilitate the legal and strategic transfer of university-owned intellectual property to external partners, driving economic growth and societal progress in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and beyond.

Our mission is to build a collaborative ecosystem that bridges academic excellence and industrial needs. By managing the commercialization lifecycle from intellectual property protection to complex licensing negotiations, we help our researchers see their work transformed into viable products and services. Whether you are a faculty member with a patentable discovery or an industry representative seeking cutting-edge solutions, ORIC provides the professional expertise to make the partnership a success.

IP Protection

We protect the university’s competitive edge by identifying and securing patents, copyrights, and trademarks for high-potential innovations before they enter the commercial market.

Market Assessment

Our team conducts rigorous market research and technical validation to determine the commercial viability of an innovation, identifying potential industry sectors and end-users.

Licensing & Negotiation

We lead the process of drafting and negotiating licensing agreements, ensuring that technology transfer occurs under terms that benefit the researcher, the university, and the commercial partner.
