Background
- Biographical / Historical:
The Indiana University Advanced Research Technology Institute (ARTI) was created in 1996 as a private, not-for-profit organization to assist in the process of bringing technology and innovations created by Indiana University researchers to market more effectively. Its antecedents were Indiana University administrators and faculty who, working with the Indiana University Foundation, oversaw the exploitation of innovations and patent management. Professor Rolla Harger's patent for his Drunk-o-meter was the first project, in 1937, of the newly created IU Foundation in its role as agent for patents developed by IU researchers.
ARTI's name was changed to the Indiana University Research and Technology Corporation (IURTC) in September, 2004.
