Company Overview

Since its founding in 1925, WARF has served the University of Wisconsin-Madison scientific community by patenting the discoveries of UW-Madison researchers and licensing these technologies to leading companies in Wisconsin, the United States and worldwide. In this way, WARF also facilitates the use of UW-Madison research for the maximum benefit of society.

WARF distributes the income from commercial licenses to the UW-Madison, the inventors and their departments. Each year, WARF contributes over $45 million to fund additional UW-Madison research. The university refers to WARF's annual gifts as its "margin of excellence" funding.

WARF's mission is to support scientific research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. We do this by:

  • Moving inventions arising from the university's laboratories to the marketplace for the benefit of the university, the inventors and society

  • Carefully managing an endowment that WARF has grown since its inception

    Nearly all of the income from WARF's transfer of technology and investment management is returned each year to the university to fund further scientific research.
