Where does innovation begin?
With an idea.
Your idea.

Have an idea and don't know what to do? Interested in the "do's and don'ts" of innovation? Want to know more about the innovation resources available from the USC? Many inventors fail to realize how important it is to protect their work in order to receive funding as a start up. Protecting ideas is usually a requirement to successfully moving an innovation to market. Krisztina Holly provides an overview on USC Stevens, hosts an interactive discussion on innovation programs and answers your questions on starting your own company or licensing your innovation. Bring all your questions!
