With our partner Technology Transfer Tactics, we've rolled out a comprehensive list of U.S. universities and their as-current patent portfolios. You're one click away from seeing a given school's U.S. patents and patent applications from the most recent.
In 1907, East Carolina was founded to alleviate the desperate shortage of teachers in the eastern part of North Carolina. Their College of Education continues to supply the nation with some of its best educators, and now it has been joined by programs of high distinction in health care and the fine and performing arts. The university is no longer a small school but an engine of economic development and a hotbed of discovery-- witness their IP collection, currently 54 patents strong.
Today, East Carolina is a constituent institution of the University of North Carolina and offers 104 bachelor’s degree programs, 74 master’s degree programs, 4 specialist degree programs, 1 first-professional MD program, and 17 doctoral programs in their professional colleges and schools, Thomas Harriot College of Arts and Sciences, and the Brody School of Medicine.
