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.
New Haven, Connecticut-based Yale University comprises three major academic components: Yale College (the undergraduate program), the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and the professional schools. In addition, Yale encompasses a wide array of centers and programs, libraries, museums, and administrative support offices. Approximately 11,250 students attend Yale, and it was founded in 1701.
Yale has a broad and deep array of patents/patent applications, a total of 519 as of this date-- see them here from the most recent.Most recently Yale won United States Patent Application 20090099097 for ENZYME INHIBITION on 4/16/2009:
Peptide-based compounds including heteroatom-containing, three-membered rings efficiently and selectively inhibit specific activities of N-terminal nucleophile (Ntn) hydrolases. The activities of those Ntn having multiple activities can be differentially inhibited by the compounds described. For example, the chymotrypsin-like and PGPH activities of the 20S proteasome can be selectively inhibited with the inventive compounds. The peptide-based compounds include an electron withdrawing group adjacent to the ring functionality, and the peptide include at least three peptide units. Among other therapeutic utilities, the peptide-based compounds exhibit anti-inflammatory and inhibition of cell proliferation, involving therapeutic applications for these compounds.
The four inventors for this IP are:
- Craig Crews
- Mikael Elofsson
- Ute Splittgerber
- Kyung Bo Kim.
Yale has a formidable Tech Transfer office. Yale has parlayed its intellectual property into more than thirty start-ups garnering over $3.3 billion in equity investment.See our blog all this coming week, we'll be highlighting the IP of America's colleges & universities.
