STARKVILLE —With a portfolio of intellectual properties spanning new blueberry varieties to the next generation of wearable technologies, Mississippi State’s Office of Technology Management is helping the Magnolia State’s leading scientists patent their ideas and take them to market, all while protecting public investments in research.
According to Director John Walters, OTM is a “small cog in the big engine of innovation” — one that helped the Magnolia State’s leading land-grant institution conduct approximately $319 million in Fiscal Year 2024 research and spur almost $2 billion in pre-pandemic economic impact, according to a past Emsi report. The unit is MSU’s primary organization leading researchers down the path to commercialization of their work via patent, copyright and trademark, all while protecting faculty and staff patents and other intellectual properties.
