The University of Arizona reported more inventions in fiscal year 2025 than ever before, making this its most inventive year for the second year in a row, according to Tech Launch Arizona, the university office that commercializes inventions stemming from university research and innovation. This past year saw the U of A community generate 324 invention disclosures, up from the 2024 record of 307.
"We measure the university's inventiveness and engagement by invention disclosures," said Doug Hockstad, associate vice president of Tech Launch Arizona. "Each time an employee – whether they're a faculty member, researcher, graduate student or other staff member – comes to our team with an invention, they fill out a simple form, and that's when the commercialization process begins."
TLA researches the patent and market landscape of each innovation, protects the intellectual property, markets inventions to potential licensees, and works to either license them to existing companies or launch startups to bring them forward into the marketplace.
Along with a record level of invention disclosures, TLA also had 94 patents issued and executed 86 licenses and options. Those licenses generate royalties that come back to the university each time a licensee sells a product. In fiscal year 2025, U of A inventions generated $12.1 million in royalties and other income, including from the acquisition of U of A startup Neuro-ID by the global credit firm Experian.
"Transforming research into societal benefit requires more than great ideas, it demands trusted partnerships and a shared commitment to progress," said Tomás Díaz de la Rubia, senior vice president for research and partnerships. "Arizona's momentum reflects a deep collaboration across the university and with external partners who help bring discoveries to life in ways that strengthen communities, fuel economic vitality and create lasting public value."
