[OTD](http://otd.harvard.edu/) is responsible for managing Harvard’s intellectual property assets. If you are applying for a patent or want to start a company based on your research, they would be the official body to talk to.

[OTD Business Development Fellowship](http://otd.harvard.edu/about/fellowships/) provides current Harvard graduate students and postdoctoral researchers an opportunity to participate in the crucial early stages of technology development. By analyzing technologies’ commercialization potential and crafting marketing strategies, Fellows help OTD translate research discoveries into products that reach the public.
