Purdue University ranked 3rd nationally in startup creation

A report covering a 11-year period of technology commercialization activities lists Purdue University as third in the U.S. for startup creation and in the top 20 for patents issued compared to legal expenditures and for the most invention disclosure forms when compared to published research.
The report, compiled and reported by the respected IPWatchdog Institute, covers data collected by AUTM over a period of 2008-18. The information is reported annually by members to AUTM, a nonprofit organization that collects technology transfer data, among other things, from more than 800 universities, research centers, hospitals and government organizations around the globe. IPWatchdog excluded the University of Texas System and the University of California System from its study because those schools report startup data that includes the state’s collective results and not individual university results.
