Central Florida 100: Patent Power
Alex Martins, chair, UCF Board of Trustees; CEO, Orlando Magic writes: "Researchers from the Florida High Tech Corridor’s three universities enter the new year driving discoveries and inventions for the people of Florida. In the latest National Academy of Inventors report, the universities of Central Florida, Florida and South Florida’s combined annual patent total (272) would rank No. 3 in the world, behind only the University of California system and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Patents are critical to bringing to the marketplace new technologies in engineering, science, medicine and other fields that make our society safer and healthier and advance our quality of life."
