	ADDING VALUE TO DONATED TECHNOLOGIES
	NC State has long been a leader in patenting its own inventions. Lately, however, the University is attracting more interest from companies looking to transfer technology patents that no longer fit with corporate research needs. The donor companies receive tax deductions, while the University and its researchers get the opportunity to further develop and license the patent to produce a royalty stream. Textiles professors Drs. Brent Smith and Harold Freeman, for example, are using the TEEGAFIX technology donated last fall by consumer products giant Procter & Gamble Co. (P&G) to produce better, more environmentally safe textile dyes.>
